Stop Child Abuse

What is child abuse ?
Child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional mistreatment of children


Introduction to Child Abuse
Child abuse is more than bruises and broken bones. While physical abuse might be the most visible sign, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse or child neglect, also leave deep, long lasting scars. Some signs of child abuse are subtler than others. However, by learning common types of abuse and what you can do, you can make a huge difference in a child’s life. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal from their abuse and not perpetuate the cycle. Learn the signs and symptoms of child abuse and help break the cycle, finding out where to get help for the children and their caregivers.


Acts of child abuse
I would never want to see to happen again :


Sexually Abusing
-Fondling a child's genitals, penetration, incest, rape, sodomy, indecent exposure, and exploitation through prostitution or the production of pornographic materials


Physically Abusing
-Spanking, beating, biting, punching,  kicking, shaking, throwing, stabbing, choking, hitting with a hand, stick, strap, or other object, burning, or otherwise harming a child 


Neglecting
Physical
-Failure to provide necessary food or shelter, or lack of appropriate supervision


Medical 
-Failure to provide necessary medical or mental health treatment


Educational
-Failure to educate a child or attend to special education needs


Emotional 
-Failure to provide psychological care, inattention to a child's emotional needs, or permitting the child to use alcohol or other drugs


Emotional Abuse
-Constant criticism, threats, or rejection, withholding love, support, or guidance



Consequences of Child Abuse


  1. It will encourage your child to lie, resent, fear, and retaliate, instead of loving, trusting,  and listening
     
  2. It will alienate your child from you and the rest of your family & make him a recluse.
     
  3. It will lower your child's self esteem, and affect your child's psychological development and ability to behave normally outside his home.
     
  4. When your child grows up, your child could probably carry on the family tradition, and abuse your grandchildren.
     
  5. Your child may exclude you from his adult life. For example, you might not be invited to your child's wedding, or not be allowed any contact or relationship with your grandchildren.


Do you really want these consequences happening to your children ? Children are born to be loved , not to be abused ! Everyone should be grateful for having a gift from god. Every child deserve a life to live ! Every child have right to be loved ! Appreciate , precious and love them with your heart !
