Persuasive Essay Child Abuse Child abuse is a growing concern in America that must be dealt with. In recent years, the problem has seemed to increase drastically. Child abuse could decrease if comminutes worked together to find a solution. The first step to eliminating child abuse is for communities to take action and report abuse when it occurs. Although a person knows that abuse is occurring, may be afraid to report it, even though it is usually the best thing for every one involved (Mufson Kranz). A lot of time abuse goes unreported because people experience feelings of fear, guilt, or shame (Mufson Kranz). Although these feelings have a tendency to get in the way of better judgement, people need to see through these emotions and report obvious cases of child abuse. Child abuse goes unreported because many times, people do not know how to report it. The most frightening occurrence of reporting abuse may be what happens after it is reported. Once a case is reported, a social worker or doctor may examine the child or the family (Mufson Kranz). What happen after abuse is reported is frightening, but is an important aspect of resolving the problem. The children that are hurt are also afraid of what might happen if and when the abuse is reported. Many children find many ways to deal with the abuse they are receiving. Some keep journals or talk to sympathetic friends while others call hot lines. Other children just simply leave home (Mufson Kranz). All of these children that

Abuse is associated with other damaging factors in the victim’s life, as studies find 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder (Amy B. Silverman, 2008). In a book by Heiman, he said that abused children are also more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors, causing them to be 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy. Also it put those young adults at greater risk for STD’s along with sexual behaviors that put children at risk. Studies also show that children who were abused are more likely to use drugs when they become young adults. While statistic shows an disturbing number of inmates have been abused as children, it is wondered that the actual number might be even higher as

This article discusses that in the teenage years through early adulthood is a phase in life that is filled with “new experiences through romantic relationships” (Godbout, Daspe, Lussier, Sabourin, Dutton, Hébert, 2017) and yet, abuse within the family nuclear can be a predicament for future outcome in violent relationships. Haynie estimated (in Godbout et al., 2017) that about 30% to 35% of late adolescent’s experience violence in their relationships. It emphasizes the impact of early abuse in the family can be a factor that is learned by witnessing these events and can cause severe consequences as the individual grows up into adulthood. The study aims to investigate how abuse and attachment in romantic relationships can be caused by early

Children experience physical and emotional trauma associated with removal from their families, homes, and communities; their subsequent encounters involve substantial harm through physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Case studies have reported adverse emotional effects among trafficked children, including depression, hopelessness, guilt, shame, flashbacks, nightmares, loss of confidence, lower self-esteem, and anxiety. The negative messages they routinely receive can influence their sense of worth, leading to feelings of self-blame. Psychological abuse associated with ongoing threats, isolation, and witnessing the abuse of others negatively affects self-concept, personal goals, and relationships with others, and seriously jeopardizes emotional well being. Emotional and physical neglect are associated with social and emotional withdrawal (Bousha & Twentyman, 1984), behavioral problems (Watts-English, Forston, Gibler, Hooper, & DeBellis, 2006), and lower self-esteem, confidence, and assertiveness (Egeland, Sroufe, & Erickson, 1983). Children who experience physical and sexual abuse are more likely to experience adverse emotional outcomes, including anxiety and depression, lower self-esteem, social isolation, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, and suicide (Dykman et al., 1997; Kaufman, 1991; Nelson et al., 2002; Sneddon, 2003).

Often victims of child abuse suffer from posttraumatic disorder, which according to Mayo Clinic a nonprofit medical practice and medical research group posttraumatic disorder is defined as “A mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event either experiencing or witnessing (Mayo clinic staff 2014). Victims who deal with psychological disorder not always commit violent crimes but instead victims tend to depend on drugs, alcohol to try to live their lives day by day, as time goes on these individuals tend to be classified as drug addicts or alcoholics. The fact that individuals depend on alcohol and drugs can lead them to ended up living in the streets and becoming what we know as the “homeless” often these individuals the lack of resources to buy drugs or alcohol lead them to commit property crimes and lead them to be processed into the criminal justice system as offenders. According to Exploring the Role of Child Abuse in Later Drug Abuse “As many as two-thirds of all people in treatment for drug abuse report that they were physically, sexually, or emotionally abuse, and witnessing or being threatened with violence or other abuse”. (Neil Swan 1998). As has been noted individuals who abuse substances and alcohol are not regular people

Sexual abuse to children happens across every socioeconomic status, ethnic, cultural, religion and education. Getting treatment for a victim of child sexual abuse is a difficult process because of the lack of trust by the child.

In today’s society, child abuse is widespread and has an affect on everyone who comes across it. The act of child abuse happens everyday to a variety of kids who are typically younger and scared to tell anyone. All children are born with the right to be able to develop, grow, live and love according to their needs and feelings. For a child 's development they need protection and reassurance from adults who love them and help them acquire the skills to be a successful adult. However, some children are neglected and hurt by adults that they trust. The abuse a child receives makes them feel bad about themselves, and it is much worse when it occurs within a family because it makes them feel unloved and alone causing them to have problems. “Abuse of all types was more frequent in those from disturbed and disrupted family backgrounds. Logistic regressions indicated that some, though not all, of the apparent associations between abuse and adult problems was accounted for by this matrix of childhood disadvantage from which abuse so often emerged. Numerous studies have investigated the psychological sequelae of childhood trauma, including posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD), dissociation, personality disorder, and substance abuse ”(“New Retrospective Measure of Child Abuse and Neglect” by David P. Bernstein). The act of child abuse causes kids to have one or more mental problems. Additionally, since people do not recognize the abuse while it is occurring, it causes these problems to

Unlike these abused children towards adolescent’s stages, they are victimized and they go through emotional problems, extreme behaviors, they may be overactive and showing signs of anger and aggressive behavior in a situation that can put them through anxiety.  The children may be afraid of their parents of reporting of the abuse and they have to put on a role to protect their parents because of fear.  These studies showed me that it does affect the children mentally through their development.  One of the examples in this article, that when a child are child, they can

Dr. Steve Maraboli once said, “it is never pretty when you leave an abusive and controlling relationship. The warden always protests when the prison gets shut down.” In society today, there are different forms of well-known abuse: psychological, sexual, human trafficking and physical. No child has the will strong enough to endure the physical and mental pain abuse brings. Every child needs support and someone to nurture them but there are kids who endure abuse from parents, classmates and other adults. Children who are abused will become mentally unstable, develop disorders and are traumatized, therefore there should be harsher consequences to prevent abuse.
