“A cute little kid is playing in the playground, not even worried about a thing. The child is smiling from ear to ear and running around having so much fun like a little kid should be. But when the child goes home, the child gets yelled at, hit on and brutally beaten up by his own parents for no reason. She ends up with bruises, and cuts all on her body. She is crying because of all the pain and she has so much fear towards her parents. Is that something a child deserves? Absolutely not!” This here is a very true story and very common when it comes to children that are getting abused at home. They do not even see it coming. Sad part is most of these children do not get the help they need when they are behind doors. “Children should not fear their parents, but instead, should develop a respect for their parents and their rules for the household.” (Abuse and Discipline) This is a very great way that most children should be towards their parents because when you teach a child from right and wrong then they will know that a consequence will follow up if they are being rebel against or breaking their rules. So they will know that they are going to get a punishment if they break a rule. When a parent and a child respect each other they have a great relationship! They have that bond that most parents and children should have. Instead of having being neglected and or having an abusive relationship with a child. In our minds, we know that discipline is a strict way to control and
Children need structure, guidance, and discipline. Keeping a close eye on one’s children will alert a parent as to when something is going wrong. Children are what they live, so teaching parent’s how to be good parent’s is not only going to benefit the parents but the children as well, instead of having monster heredity, them may have wonderful heredity genes for generations to
No-one deserves to be abused, be that physically, emotionally or sexually and the same rules apply that no child or young person should be subjected to neglect. It is every child’s right to live without fear of harm or abuse.
Many children are victims of violence; this violence may be physical, or emotional, direct or indirect. In certain situations, the child’s experience
It might be difficult to accept but every child can be hurt, put at risk or harm or abused, regardless of their age, gender, religion or ethnicity.
Most parents and other caregivers do not intend to hurt their children, but abuse is defined by the effect on the child, not the motivation of the parents or caregiver.Tens of thousands of children each year are traumatized by physical, sexual, and emotional abusers or by caregivers who neglect them.Child abuse as common as it is shocking. Most of us can’t imagine what would make an adult use violence against a child, and the worse the behavior is, the more unimaginable it seems. But the incidence of parents and other caregivers consciously, even willfully, committing acts that harm the very children they’re supposed to be nurturing is a sad fact of human society that cuts
Unfortunately, there are children everywhere who endure a form of abuse. Some experience emotional abuse while others experience physical abuse. Other children, like Dave Pelzer, are faced with both. Dave had to grow up in a family of two alcoholic parents. He was severely beaten and tortured by his mother and was neglected by his father. Dave had to spend his childhood in fear of his life. Although sad, his story gives others hope that they too can experience an abusive childhood and live to tell about it.
Since the child is aware of why their parents set such rules, they respect their parents, and are more likely to respect the law as well. Children raised in families with these parenting styles are “self-confident and achievement-oriented in school and get better grades than do children whose parents have other parenting styles” ( Lifespan: Development, 203).
Not only are children being abused, but most cases are occurring, unreported. In fact, researchers go as far as to say “as few as 1 in 10 of those instances of abuse are actually confirmed by social-service
This is a very sad and upsetting topic and sadly there are ways many people can relate to this topic my mom works at a daycare in Midway, NC, there have been times in her career where she has had to report bruises and marks found on children in her classes. This is a hard and sad thing to hear about so close to home, when she tells me these things about children I used to go play with and help watch in her class it truly breaks my heart. There is never a case that a young child deserves to be abused, people need to understand there 's a huge line between disciplining and abusing.
Children can be scared by things that happen to them during their developmental years and even though it is said “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger”, that is not always the way it really turns out for a child. If a child does not develop proper self-esteem and self worth the adult that they grow into does not function properly in society. How children are treated by their parents defines how they interact with people when they grow up.
There are many things in our society today that unfortunately go overlooked. One such thing that is overlooked is the number of children who are being abused. Unfortunately these children are going through life not knowing whether or not their parents will loose their temper and perhaps kill them. There are many types of child abuse, such as physical, sexual, and emotional. Physical abuse is physical injury as a result of punching, beating, kicking, biting, shaking, throwing, stabbing, choking, hitting, burning, or otherwise harming a child. Such injury is considered abuse regardless of whether the caretaker intended to hurt the child. Sexual abuse includes activities by a parent or caretaker such as fondling a child's genitals,
Child abuse should not happen. Any kid should never go through this. People have noticed that if the child that was abused does not seek help and counselling they could turn out the same way. their beatings could become more brutal. They could get addicted to the same things their parents did. As the child grows older they will have scars. Not only physically but, mentally. The child could possibly be immune to the beating and as they grow older the could fall into a abusive relationship and think its okay. Therefore the parents that abused should be in jail maybe even prison for life.
It is common for parents and their children to have disagreements and to have arguments but sometimes these disagreements can turn into abuse. Children usually use violence to try to “control or bully them” (Parenting and Child Health, n.d.) This violence usually occurs when the child “frightens, threatens or physically hurts them. It can involve using abusive language, pushing, shoving, kicking, throwing things, or threatening with knives or other weapons” ((Parenting and Child Heathen’s.) Children may abuse their parents due to the normalization of that parent getting abused by the other parent within their household. The child may use the parent that abusing the other parent as a model for the way they should act towards their parent as well and justify their actions simply as something that they observed in their household. The violence that children commit against their parents affects that subsystem because it leaves it broken. There is a strain within the parent and child relationship that forms a direct result of constant conflict and abuse between the child and parent. Sometimes, in child-child relationships, an older sibling may become “more aggressive” with their younger sibling because of the abuse that they have witnessed and been exposed to. (Fantuzzo, Mohr, 1999) The children can become socialized by the parents to believe that
Think about your childhood, coming home from school, going to practice, and then eating dinner with your family, and your parents coming tucking you into bed and kissing you to bed. The sad truth is that not everyone gets to have that ideal childhood according to the American Society for Positive Care for Children there were 7.2 million reported child abuse cases last year. Tiffany Sharples wrote in Time Magazine last year 9 out of 10 child abuse cases go unreported. Abuse does not only affect children physically but it's also detrimental impact on the child's mental health causing long lasting mental health problems.
Although child abuse has soon become a more discussed issue, it is nothing new in today’s society. Dating back to ancient times, physical child abuse has always attributed to lives of people around the world. Approaching and understanding child mistreatment has changed as societies have modernized and progressed; whereas one thing remains an unalterable issue, child abuse happens constantly and continuously worldwide.
