CHILD ABUSE

Why does the world of today accept this kind of things? Why are so much
victims of child abuse every day? Is it fair to get those punishments when we
are kids? The answer is no. There’s no valid reason to tolerate such violence
against the childhood. There’s no reason to force a kid to do things that he or
she doesn’t want to. In this article I am going to show some effects of Child
Abuse and some types of abuse too. This is not an ACT that should be
permitted in these days.

There are four main types of child abuse: physical abuse, sexual abuse,
emotional abuse and child neglect. Those four categories are all connected to
each other, I mean, when there’s physical abuse there is emotional abuse and
the same happens with sexual abuse. When we talk about child abuse we talk
about a virus that spreads all over the organism of the inflicted. Victims of child
abuse can develop chronic depression, anxiety, behavior problems, problems in
school – and the list goes on and on.

I think, that NO ONE should tolerate this attitudes because even though it is
your father or your mother who is inflicting you pain, they are abusing you, and
if the kid who’s receiving the pain doesn’t speak out, he or she will get worse,
and sometimes these cases end in suicide. When somebody forces a kid to do
something that he or she doesn’t want to, that’s abuse too. The majorities of
cases of Child Abuse make the “abused” stay quiet and suppress everything
that happened, that is a really bad attitude because it makes matters worse. For
example, when a girl was raped when she was a girl and she doesn’t speaks
out, she’ll keep everything inside herself and probably have serious mental
problems.

If each person that habituates the world helps then we will have a less
percentage of abused kids and persons everyday. All the reasons that a rapist
or a neglect causer gives for the justification of the abuse are INVALID, if the
rapist justifies his crime with that “he couldn’t control himself” or that “the girl
said yes” it doesn’t mean anything. No one should permit this kind of things
today because there’s polite ways of expressing anger or sadness that aren’t
really hitting a kid or negating to take care of it. There’s nothing worse than a
Child Abuse, abused kids will always be abused kids, no matter if they’re adults
or elder people.

With all these ideas, all these effects and arguments I can say that CA (Child
Abuse) is the worst thing that you can do to a kid.
