Have you ever saw a little child and saw bruises on them and thought to yourself "they probably just fell." That may be the case sometimes, but not everytime. Child abuse is happening more and more everyday in the united states and it seems as though no one is doing anything about it. Schools seem to have a idea of what is going on but they don't speak out as much as they should. No one wants to be friends with a kid who is abused. In most cases of child abuse the child is in a house hold with atleast one parent who is a alcoholic or a drug abuser. What I wonder is what a person gets out of hitting a child, i mean honestly. You hit a kid, what do you get from it,you get the enjoyment of knowing that your hurting someone who cant defend themselves. The child is normally too afraid to speak out to someone about what is going on at home. When asked about their bruises, the abuser has probably already told them what to say so they dont get into trouble. No one seems to listen and notice what is really going on. In the book "A child called It" it goes into detail on what happens in a household with a alcoholic mother and what later becomes a absent father, It is a true story about a little boy named David who was abused, starved and tortured by his mother til he was almost dead, and to the point where he wished he was dead. Abuse comes in different forms; Physical, emotional, phsycological. David is forced to handle all 3, He must learn to survive his mothers demented games. No one knows what is really going on, until the nurse comes to rescue him. Social services was called, but "Mother" put on a act so no one would know. Which is what seems to happen in almost every case now. Abuse isn't just towards children, its towards "Boyfriends", "girlfriends", even animals. Why? That is all i want to know.
Why do you think others abuse children, the ones they "love", even animals?
well, in the case of alcoholic parents, when someone is drunk, they really don't know what their doing, but that still isn't an exuse for hitting their child. Some people are just awful people. I don't know what they get out of hitting their kids either. It doesn't make any sense to me either.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't really give an exact answer for that question. I think it's mostly people with psychological issues, like Bipolar disorder or another disorder like that. Some people just don't think it's wrong to hit their children; they think that they deserve it. And they're wrong.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know a straight forward answer to that question. I think maybe when people are feeling depressed or bad or their life is bad, they think hurting others will make them feel better and give them entertainment. They aren't thinking about who or what they are hurting. Boyfriends and girlfriends might have other reasons. Maybe they want to feel dominate or they get so jealous of the other one. I don't know, I have never been through anything like that.
ReplyDeleteI think its because they take out there pain on someone who is less hopeless than you. Its like a form of bulling but that times 100. They arent thinking about the consequences, they only want to be relieved of the pain that they are in. Thats usually why men and women drink.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make sense to me at all. People are dumb is the only thing I can really say on it. And most people seem to believe that hurting something they love will help.
ReplyDeleteHow that Logic works out I'm not really sure of.
