Answer 1

because it is hereditary?...:)

Answer 2

Regardless of race, religion or background, they all are because they beat children. Whether in upscale neighborhoods or dilapidated tenements, they are all filthy, dirty pigs by definition. (I do feel badly for the pigs, though, who really are wonderful, smart animals).

What upsets me further is those that come on here to glorify (and justify) hitting their own children - ever. There is no such thing as a "spanking". When you hit your child, wherever you hit him, it is the same thing as this - only you do it less hard. There is no "tap", no "pat", no "just once or twice on a clothed bottom". When you hit, you hit. That you use less force is nothing to feel good about.

I hope stories like this educate at least one more person to not hit his/her children. At the moment the justification begins for anyone, the definition of abuse becomes interpretation. Any physical punishment is abuse, it is that simple. That it is not law is reprehensible. If everyone stopped, there would be that many more people on the planet who could prevent stories like this by disavowing the 'social norm' of hitting and making it a (terrible) thing of the past.

Answer 3

They aren't.

A lot of child abuse goes on in homes that are worth millions, homes with hired help and seven sport cars outside. These cases often aren't reported like the cases that come from poverty-stricken people.

Abuse happens at all levels, from the people that live in the ghetto, those that live in suburbia and those who live on private beaches.

I think that the higher you climb the wealth ladder the more abuse there is, though. Those kids that come from households that are "perfect" get a lot of emotional abuse.
