Child Abuse
by Ayaka Iijima
In this essay I present my research on Child abuse. I am interested in this topic because I know the news that many children have been killed by abuse. I am going to cover two main points. I want to explore why parents abuse their children and what kind of abuse they do.
First I will show you parents don't like children's behavior, parents don't have a real friend, parents have trouble in neighborhood. Finally I will demonstrate Physical abuse, Mental abuse, Sexual abuse, and Neglect.
In any study of abuse, it is important to know the background details. Abuse affects the growth of a child and personality formation when the children who were given abuse grew, they will continue to abuse their own children in a feedback loop.
What are the causes of abuse? I think abuse is caused by parents who don't have skill of motherhood and fatherhood. The effects are that parents abuse their children and hurt their children mentally and physically.
I think abuse is similar to child's nurture because in both cases parents scold their children. However abuse is different from child's nurture because abuse doesn't have anything to do with love but nurture of a child has to do with love. The main beneficiaries are social workers. The victims are some parents and their children.
Why do parents abuse their children? I will show you that parents don't like children's behavior, parents don't have a real friend, parents do have trouble in neighbor hood. I think that parents especially mothers have a lot of stress, because they must take care of their children, according to the gyakutai website.
Mothers have some trouble. First , they don't like their children's behavior and they wonder whether their children are below average in terms of development. Second , some parents don't live in friendship and have trouble with neighbors and don't have money. Finally, the mother imagines that other mothers completely take care of their children, and the mother imagines that she doesn't have qualifications to be a parent.
I have shown that parents don't like children's behavior, parents don't have a real friends, parents have trouble in neighborhood, now I will demonstrate what physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect are. I think there are various abuses because I have heard about child abuse. According to the gakutai website, abuse is divided into four types physical abuse of hard swinging , shaking, bitting, binding, putting in water, putting a cigarette on a child and gripping a child by the neck.
Second, sexual abuse, is sexual harassment.
Third, Neglect, is that parents don't give children food and milk, parents don't change their child's clothes, leave them in dangerous places, parents don't take them to hospital when they need treatment.
Fourth psychological abuse, is that parents ignore their child, they are insulted or frightened by badwords.
In brief I have shown that some abusive parents don't like their children's behavior, some abusive parents don't have a real friend and their parents have trouble in neighbor hood. I have explained the four kinds of abuse physical, mental, sexual abuse and Neglect. The situation might improve if everyone who finds abused children, should help them. Furthermore, if we make a good environment for mothers. However the situation might deteriorate if people like find abused children, don't help them. Then, abuse will increase more and more. I think that abuse won't decrease. But, if we can get rid of stress from mothers, abuse would decrease and if we can find abused children, we should help them. We must help the abused and create a better environment.
