For example, “The emotional responses of children who witness domestic violence may include fear, guilt, shame, sleep disturbances, sadness, depression, and anger (Domestic Violence Round Table, 2015).” It is evidently clear that children who come from abusive families may incur problems later in life as they establish and build personal and private relationships. For example, children that are exposed to their mother who is verbally, physically, or sexually abused may develop problematic relationships because of experienced aggression. This aggression may be taken out on peers, or even their own mother. When a child continuously is a witness in seeing their mother abused in any way, chances are they may display or express
Hannah Tischler Mr. Lim AP Language 10 November 2014 Child Abuse Children are, and have always been, prone to bad behavior as a natural result of their youth and immaturity. As natural as their propensity for acting out may be, however, misbehaving children should never be allowed to run amok without some proper guidance. Enter the parents. Safe to say, when children are rude, throw tantrums for no reason at all, or use physical violence against other children, the expectation is that the parents of those very same children would intervene and immediately curb their children’s bad behavior. Thus, parents should not have to think twice when a situation arises to discipline their son or daughter.
Understand how to respond to evidence or concerns that a child has been abused or harmed Everyone working with children and young people should know what to look out for to know of things which they need to spot to recognise when a child is being abused or harmed. This does not mean that every sign means that a child is being abused. Sometimes signs are not seen physically but their behaviour can also indicate this. It is important that you monitor any changes in behaviour and sometimes a child could be facing different types of abuse this could include physical, emotional, sexual abuse or neglect. Physical abuse This is when a child is being physically abused this could include hitting, smacking, punching, kicking or include objects being thrown at them.
Child abuse is a complex phenomenon with multiple causes. Understanding the causes of abuse is crucial to addressing the problem of child abuse. Parents who physically abuse their spouses are more likely than others to physically abuse their children (Garbarino, & Garbarino, 1994). Many physically abusive parents and caregivers insist that their actions are simply forms of discipline—ways to make children learn to behave. But there is a big difference between using physical punishment to discipline and physical abuse.
An abused child is any child, up to the age of 18, who has suffered from, or is believed likely to be at risk of, physical injury, neglect, emotional abuse, sexual abuse or verbal abuse. It is recognised that that it is abuse when someone inflicts harm or fails to prevent it. Children may be abused in a family or in an institutional or community setting, by those known to them or by a stranger, for example, via the internet. Child abuse can have major long-term effects on all aspects of a child's health, development and wellbeing. All children have accidents, like bumps and falls, which cause injury.
It can cause confusion, which can then lead to stress, which can then result in aggressive behavior from the child. Spanking is a form of punishment which typically involves the punisher (usually an adult) striking the person that is being punished (usually a child) either with their hand, a belt, or some other instrument. Spanking is commonly used in situations where adults want the child to immediately stop whatever it is they’re doing wrong, which is why some people would consider spanking to be a good thing. “Spare the rod, spoil the child” is a phrase I’ve heard at least a hundred times throughout my life. This phrase simply means if you don’t give the child a spanking when they deserve it, you’re teaching them that their behavior is ok. A typical spanking (a couple swats with a hand) may be physically harmless; however, it can get out of hand.
Some signs to look for in a child’s behaviour is if the child is overly shy, or fearful, or maybe afraid of doing something wrong. Another warning would be a child showing wrong age behaviour, which means an older child showing signs of behaviour that are usually found in younger children. Physical abuse is deliberate use of physical force or violence to hurt or injure a child. It may include slapping, punching, pulling hair, hitting etc. some of the signs and symptoms of physical abuse are bruises in places that would not be related with a child falling over accidentally, these may happen frequently.

Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is a shocking phenomenon that is increasingly recognized as one of the most severe forms of child abuse, with very high rates of morbidity (more than 50%) and mortality (15%-38%) among children under 1 year (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2001; King, MacKay, Sirnick, & the Canadian Shaken Baby Study Group, 2003; Ward, Bennett, & King, 2004). Shaken baby syndrome is responsible for the majority of deaths that are due to child abuse (King et al. ; Morad et al., 2004). About 75% of survivors suffer neurological, cognitive, developmental, or psychological sequels, and severe functional cerebral palsy-type sequel occur in 60% of survivors (Bonnier et al., 2003; Karandikar, Coles, Jayawant, & Kemp, 2004; King et al. ;
