Hey~ All

I know theres a bunch of post about child abuse. but heres another one

I have never had child abuse ever happen to me or anyone i really knew. But it still makes me feel sick when i watch the news/read the newspaper abut a mother who killed her three 3 kids, etc. These children need help before it's to late.

People need to also help not just turn thier heads and close theier eyes. cause police can't go door to door seeing if someone beats theier kids. They need are help to tell them when someone might be being abuse. Cause if we all just walk away no-body will be there for them these weak children will have to fight for them-selfs and it's not hard to see who would win.

A Few Tips/Hints to help:

#1. "Make a t-shir that reads "Stop Child Abuse"
#2. If you think someone is abusing there kid report THEM!.

1 in 4 girls
1 in 5 boys
10% sexual (that's the smallest percentage)
50% physical
Types:
Neglect
Physical
Emotional/Mental
Sexual

I had to do a research page on it. I chose the topic because it strikes jsut a little close to home (me=sxl vic) and I found out a lot of scary numbers. So yeah, just a bit of information.

If we are so shocked, why wouldn't other people be? Get the info off the web (google works) and share with everyone you know. That will show you care, and then others will pick up on the idea that "oh, maybe we should help" and then you'll have lots of people trying to do something.

Write your rep in government. It sometimes works.

I wish there was something I could do for children who are being abused. It just seems like such a delicate issue to try to help make right. What are ways that child abuse can be stopped..even for one child?

*shudder*

child abuse needs to be stopped. not only that, kids that have been abused need to be able to get support to help fix the scarring that happens that follows them for the rest of their lives.

and the whole thing about kids getting into abusive relationships when their older if they have been abused is totally true. they never knew anything different, so its easy to just say that its normal, or that they deserve it.

not only that, kids who are abused by their parents, and the abuse is reported, go though a lot of psycological damage aswell, often they are put into homes that may or may not be better, or they don't get suffiecent support to help them get adjusted to a regular life. often they feel guilty because they feel that they were the ones who were in the wrong, and that they broke their family.

so many kids are afraid to go home from school, because their afraid their dad or mom will beat them, or yell at them, or for some they're afraid to go home because they will be raped, or molested, everyday and sometimes its not even their parents, but other people they put their trust in, and lots of kids blame all this on themselves, i can't stand it, it makes me feel sick i want to stop it, i want to give these kids a huge hug and say. "you're loved, you don't deserve this, let me take you away to a place where you can be a kid again, don't be afraid, i won't hurt you, you can trust me, lets run away and never come back"

please, lets stop child abuse. they don't deserve this. nobody deserves to be abused.

Child abuse isn't always physical or sexual. Mental and emotional child abuse stays with the child longer than other abuses. Abuse occuring when a person is a child leads them to later on choose partners that are abusive. The whole idea brings me to tears because a child's life can be ruined by the one person they trust the most in the world.

I think that you are right. That the subject of child abuse should be "brought out more". In recent years, the subject of suicide has been "brought out" and people are being educated about it. And look how many lives are being saved because of it. I think that educating people about child abuse, or rather domestic aduse in general, that you'd save so many children and spouses (in abusive marital relationships) the pain of going through that. Its more of a "taboo" subject where I'm from. So I agree with you that more attention should be brought to this subject.

Thanks for those Tips/Hints. Child abuse should be brought forth, and never turned away. It's hard for a child to be abused, even many years afterward. It's just something that will effect a young person's life, forever.

Peace,
