what are the effects on the individuals on child abuse?

Answer 1

Child abuse has many far reaching effects like feelings of being worthless, feelings like you deserved the punishment, feelings of hopelessness not only for the first generation child, but her family, and the next until the cycle of abuse stops. Those effects, those memories, that physical damage is irreversible. Only with psychological help will the cycle of abuse stops and stop it must, so that succeeding generations can live normally.

(sp)Child abuse comes in many forms and scars the child for live, forever changing there outcome in life. In a abusive family it turns into a vishous cycle, repeating itself until someone has the courage and strength to change or stop the cycle. It can effect how they do in school, how they make friends or not, their self esteem and self worth.

Answer 3

here is a really sad poem my friend emailed me about child abuse...

Blue Ribbon AGAINST Child Abuse; pass it on please!!




Solly

My name is Sarah
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,

I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my Mommy
Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all,
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.

When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.

When my Mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
>From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.

I try and hide
>From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.

"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.

There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah. And you can help.

It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this and don't pass it on I pray for your forgiveness, because you would have to be one heartless person to not be affected by this email. And because you are affected, do something about it!! So all I am asking you to do is take some time to send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people like her dad do live in our society, and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray for the safety of our youth.


Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon Against Child Abuse because as crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life.
