Child Abuse: Is It Culturally Diverse Or Is It Actually Abusive?

The issue of child abuse relates significantly to race and class because it brings up the following question: “Is it culturally diverse or is it actually abusive?” One of the reasons for such huge number of child abuse cases is because most of those cases are from non white children. America is known for its diversity and even though it is a “free country” America has its own culture which is different from the hispanics, asians, blacks and many others. But, not only race relates to this issues so does class because children who come from low income families seem to be more likely to suffer from abuse. A reason for this is due to the fact that people with a low SES are uneducated and are not aware on how parenting styles can affect a child.
