Answer 1

# When thinking about statistics on child abuse, it is helpful to know that the very idea of "child abuse" is controversial.

* Only recently, and only in particular countries and cultures, has the abuse of children come to be seen as a major social problem and a main cause of many people's suffering and personal problems.

* Of course children have been abused throughout human history. But for people to think about child abuse as we do now, to create legal definitions and government agencies that can remove children from their homes, and to conduct thousands of research studies on the effects of abuse - these are historically and culturally embedded developments.

* Some believe that, for the first time in history, we are beginning to face the true prevalence and significance of child abuse. Others worry that many people have become obsessed with child abuse and deny any personal responsibility for their problems while "blaming" them on abuse and bad parenting. (I believe that each view has some validity.)

* Clearly, then, some very large contexts and controversies shape debates about particular issues concerning child abuse.

Answer 2

No child EVER needs to be abused, whether or not their parents have alcohol or drug problems, or they are angry. Children are not born in this world to be treated that way, at all, ever. Parents are supposed to be the adults who teach their children the difference between right and wrong, good and bad..so by abusing, they are just idiots. Children need to be taught and abuse is never the answer.
