Child abuse is worldwide, it is a tragic fact of life that some
parents abuse and neglect their children. The cause of child abuse
depends on the suction, for instance children a mother/father
maybe a alcoholic or a drug user, or a mother/father has been sexually
abuse or molested, or growing up as a child they them self has
been neglected or abuse.
In Canada there was a victim of child abuse mark was abuse by
his mother until the age of 16, in his story he said he felt a lot of
abuse was his fault and he deserved every punch in the face and
every burn from the cigarette, but mark said deep down he knew
none of the abuse was his fault and he didn’t deserve it. He kept it
a secret from everyone; he hid the marks with long sleeves and
jeans. He said when being with his friend he laugh until he cried
but he was screaming inside ‘somebody help me!’ he pretended to
be happy and carefree in school but always thinking “please don’t
let the day end. He did every well in school so no one will suspect
something was going on. mark ran away at 16 and moved wit his
father and he told his father everything his mother did and his
father took custody of him, his mother was every up set and pull
out a gun on him and his father and was caught by a off duty police
officer.
How might abuse affect a child future?
Yes every little thing will effect their future. From bad eating
habbits, to bad anger. Children are more hurt to emotional abuse
when they are young. As far as physical abuse, that could take
every bit of life and direction the child had for themselves and
basically thow it out the window, the child will feel lost and pick
up to the new behaviors in front of them. Bascially a child is the
weakest thing an adult or older sibling could prey on, but they
could be taken advantage of quickly. Beat up a pillow.. they dont
argue, they dont talk
