Yen-Chang Feng Analysis

Visualize getting off a school bus everyday having to worry about what parents will happen. Sixty four percent of children have been involved in abusive situations. There are different ways children can be physically abused. Physical abuse is not just temporary, it can be a life changing experience. Punishing kids by physically abusing them is a horrible form of discipline that causes the children to become violent, antisocial , and mentally unstable.
Physical violence should never be used on anyone, much less children. This action can cause the child to grow up to be a violent or abusive parent. Kids that are abused are likely to abuse their children when they have a kid. Abuse upon a child teaches the child that it is acceptable to use physical force against a person. This statement is proven through an article by Brennenstuhl, Sarah, "CP fails to suppress negative behavior or teach pro-social behaivior, and that maximizes hitting as a problem-solving as opinion." Growing up
with the knowledge that using physical force and violence is acceptable is a dangerous concept. Children who have received corporal punishment express this form of cruel violence towards their kids. According to scientist Megan Holmes, children who experience physical abuse often reflect that on there kids when they grow up to be a mom or a dad. This causes a never ending cycle because when their child gets older, they are likely to be abusive. Megan proves the statement in her article that children who are exposed to abuse will likely be abusive to there children. Also, the abused kid could grow up to be a problem in society and may end up in jail.
The terrible side effects to physical abuse is much more than just the violent behavior of the children once they reach adulthood.
Children who have been a victim of abuse can sometimes become unstable. Many have health problems or need assistance throughout his or her life because they are notcapable of doing things. It is stated many times throughout Yen-Chang Feng's article, that children who receive physical abuse as a disciplinary action are more prone to have unstable mental health problems. This is not the only result in which studies have reported back and proved that children who receive physical punishment are more likely to have a mental disorder rather than those who do not receive it. According to the research article by author Amanda Keene, "parents" use of physical punishment has been linked to a wide variety of mental health outcomes and depression. Disorders are one of the main affects to this violence. It can ruin someone's life and also can put many life's in
danger.
There are many different ways a child can be abused. Each and every person in this world has a different personality and different learning styles. Abusive punishment may or may not work on some children because of the learning style of each individual. Some children need physical contact for them to listen or to help get the parents point across. Because this topic is so widely debated there are people against and for physical abuse on children. The idea that every child has a different learning style indicates that physical punishment is not always the correct disciplinary method to use on misbehaving children.
It is a parents duty to discipline their child. However there is a fine line between a parent disciplining their child, and a parent abusing their child. Abuse is not only against the law, it leads to future violent behavior, a sense of loneliness, and potential mental heath issues.
