I wrote in my journal 2 to 3 days a week, and most all of the entries were the same: me feeling bad for my children because they have fathers that do not help me raise them financially or emotionally, or thinking of the memories I have shared with my children-good and bad, or the worries I have about my children growing up…..until my last journal entry on July 9, 2009, about a young boy named Cody, (whom is a friend

Parents who abuse their kids may love them very much they just don’t love them very well. Abusive parents are not only abusing their kids but it can lead to their grandkids being abused. Abusive behavior is carried on across generations. Studies show that thirty percent of abused children turn into abusive parents. Although abusive behavior is the most common talked about or reported, there are different kinds of child abuse that occurs. Emotional, physical, and sexual are the three main types. Emotional abuse is destructive to a child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. This kind of abuse can affect a child’s emotional development, which results in a sense of worthlessness. Physical abuse involves external injuries and is more easily seen than other forms. This type of abuse can cause a child to develop behavioral problems such as withdrawal, difficulty at school, aggression, running away, nightmares, and extreme anxiety.

Abstract: Childhood abuse has been present throughout many years but it has never been brought into life as it is today. The child’s brain is just as a sponge, absorbing every detail of their daily lives. If the child lives in an environment where there is abuse, that child in the future will do the same because it was what he got used to. Many parents use violence as a form of punishment when they do not realize that by only being violent, they are creating a trauma on the child which can lead in the future to depression, substance abuse, physical abuse and losing touch of reality. Even though children have to learn to have an education, do not resort to abuse.

However, all forms of child abuse carry emotional consequences because the child's psychological and emotional development inevitably suffers from all forms of abuse. An intervention model that would focus on emotional abuse could also focus on preventing other forms of abuse because violent behavior towards children often comes from the same underlying causes, and most risk factors for child maltreatment are associated with caregiver, family, and environmental factors (McDonald, 2007). With this in mind, a possible solution would have to include early detection, but the intervention would most likely focus on factors that cause all types of child abuse. Despite the widespread occurrences of all forms of abuse, emotional neglect or maltreatment are practically impossible to detect while they occur and impair the child's normal development and social integration. Emotional abuse includes includes verbal, mental, and psychological maltreatment of children, and it is frequently overlooked by the community and mental health professionals who do not define emotional abuse as a suitable factor for diagnostic purposes (as cited in Schneider, Baumrind, & Kimerling, 2007). In reality, emotional abuse is frequently used in many families, it occurs in several worldwide cultures, and it carries significant consequences that should not be overlooked.

INTRODUCTION: “Child Abuse occurs when a parent or a care taker physically, emotionally, or sexually mistreats or neglects a child resulting in the physical, emotional, or sexual harm or imminent risk of harm or exploitation, or in extreme cases the death of a child,” child abuse is a big deal because in today’s society many children face abuse, there are many effects and reasons as to why a child may be abuse.

S1: Every child in this world has the right to be safe and free from brutality. One reason why emotional abuse is the most hidden form of child mistreatment is because emotional abuse doesn’t involve incident or visible injury. Emotional abuse can occur if there is physical abuse or not, but most of the time there is an imbricate. Emotional child abuse has a lot of consequences. It includes: long-lasting pattern of sadness, low self esteem, unsuitable and problematic relationships, anxiety, and lack of recognition. Emotional abuse can have a high likelihood of harming children's mental and physical well-being. Types of emotional abuse are ignoring, rejecting, and terrorizing. Each one has a different meaning. Ignoring is to refuse to show a response or interaction to the child. Rejecting means scorning the child’s needs. Terrorizing is to force the child to do something by using threats or violence.

Abuse occurs when people mistreat or misuse other people, showing no concern for their integrity or intent worth as individuals. There are different types of abuse, examples are, family abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse. On average, most children that grow up in an abusive home are most likely to become abusive towards their spouse and or kids. Family abuse can be the worse because it affects the whole family. Emotional abuse affects the inside and that can be mentally damaging. Most of the time, neglect abuse is not always intentional. It’s caused by inexperienced parents not knowing how to raise the child. This paper, will focus on the affects domestic abuse has on children.

There are several types of abuse; emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, family violence, sexual abuse, and organised sexual abuse (“Impact” para. 1 ). Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse is usually happening by the child 's parents, relatives, or care takers ("Child" para. 1). Often a male uses violence to rule his wife or children; therefore, it is the male’s choice to abuse the wife and child (“Impact” para. 10). Boys and girls are most likely to be victims of emotional abuse by their parents or peers (“Impact” para. 2). Studies show that family violence is most often committed by men against the mother, other family members, or child (“Impact” para. 10). However, in some scenarios the sexual abuser is male and is related to the victim. Most sexual abusers are not considered mentally ill (“Impact” para. 2). Domestic violence is described as the physical violation of children and women by male relatives which can

By definition, child abuse is the deliberate physical maltreatment or sexual molestation of a child by a caretaker. Hitting, beating, slamming against a wall, burning, and in severe cases, even killing. Why would anyone want to purposely hit an innocent child? While this is a question that many people wonder child abuse is actually more common than most people think. Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies with reports of child abuse. I argue throughout this paper that child abuse is a major social problem that obviously needs to be prevented. This paper begins by defining the different types of child abuse to inform the reader. Secondly the paper will state some common signs and symptoms of

Child abuse consists of many diverse forms of abuse that is negligence which is failure to take proper care in doing.

So when they are growing up they will not be as quick on knowing the material then the kids their own age.
