There are many diverse kinds of abuse and is vulnerable to anybody at any age and can take place to anyone. The abuse is an issue that exists for a very long time in history.

Another type of abuse can be the neglecting of victim, which is complicated to recognize and describe (Lipschitz, 1999). The victim has difficulty to recognize that he is abused, especially if it is someone whom he has lived with for many years or it is a closed family person. Frequently, the children and the elderly who tend to get badly treated. Unfortunately, if a child has been abused for many years, he starts to think that this is the real life and nothing can be done about this situation. Others may blame themselves and do not get in touch with other persons for help. Also, when children see the way their parents are violent, they think the act is okay. It is known as domestic abuse, in which one person in a marriage or intimate relationship tries to control and dominate the other person. Abuse and domestic violence are used for the only reason to gain and keep up total power over a person.
