Child Abuse
Child abuse. It aches people to see or hear about a child being beat. For those who don’t know, child abuse is physically, sexually, and psychologically maltreatment of children. Everyday, a child is abused brutally usually at home. Their parents get so out of control that they hit the child causing their child to be desperately hurt or injured. It is a problem to have our future to be broken down because the present is hurting the future. I believe that we can have a solution to this and that solution is to help keep our young children secure from danger.
Almost about, 54% of children are neglected each year. To be neglected is harsh. It means that you are ignored and you are paid no attention to. It’s almost as if you’re a ghost. About, 22% of children are physically abused every day. They are being beat up physically in a way they shouldn’t experience. This is dangerous because children’s bodies aren’t fully grown and they can’t take that kind of maltreatment. Their too young and they can’t handle things like that.
About 8% of children are sexually abused everyday. Some people get carried away and they just have to target a young child to fulfill their desires for sex. That is why there are so many sex offenders in the streets. They have nothing better to do with their lives so they try and take on someone weaker than them. Also, many grown people pick the children who are interested in having sex because they are easier to take advantage of. 4% of children receive emotional maltreatment very day. Some parents are embarrassed of their past choices and they seek a way to make it better. Doing this takes away their time with their children. They get emotionally abused because their parents forget all about their children’s feelings and they don’t know about the things they say and do. There are many other types of maltreatment in the world. They occur to only 12% of children in the world. For example, children are broken down mentally. They are told things like “You can’t do it,” or “You might as well just give up.” These words mean something to children coming from the closest people in their lives: their parents.
One thing that happens to children after they have been abused is that they end up doing the same thing to their children. They end up making the same mistake their parents make since they had nobody point them in the right direction. The abuse has many effects on children and they make them follow their parents’ paths. They make the same choices and they pass it on. It’s like a virus that spreads from one generation to another.
