Introduction:
Children from large states to small cities are exposed to violence in their homes at least one in their life. Other areas like communities, school and friends’ houses can expose children to violence, whether they are the victims of the violence or just a witness to the crime. Children that do wittiness a violence crime or that were involved can affect this child for the rest of their life. There is not enough research in our society as a whole has concentrated on the cause and affect this negative type of action this has in their life. The type of effects this can have on a child would be physical, mental and or emotional; these issues can affect a child life until adulthood and even longer. There is never a set limit on negative actions towards other can affect anyone. Most children that only witness violence in home or natural society settings are most likely to reenact this type of scene on other victims, or they could become victims themselves in the future when they would be involved in a relationship. In the meantime, the children that do witness negative violence between the parents, the children would be labeled as “silent victims”.
Research suggests that between 3.3 million and 10 million children in the United States are exposed to domestic violence each year, and more than a decade of empirical studies indicates that this exposure can have significant negative effects on children's behavioral, emotional, social, and cognitive development (Behman , 1999, p.4).Most children do witness fighting… in other words negative interactions between other older kids could be at lunch, before or after
