From tear gassing, to the utmost physical abuse, juveniles were tortured and it led to the children wanting to commit suicide in these harsh conditions. Such brutality was a shocking insight to me. I was in disbelief that in our own country this kind of treatment once went on and nothing was done about it for quite some time. Without such investigations that have taken place by Kenneth Wooden, one can only wonder about if such treatment would still go on and if it is even possible that it happens today. With fear being invested into the minds of juveniles, it can be very easy to control them and have underground extreme policies going on regarding abuse.
Diblasio believes that people are more aware of bullying and are finally taking action and reporting it. For example she claims “people are more likely to know about bullying and feel that they have to repot it” (Diblasio). This may be true; however are they targeting the right people? Most of the parents whose child is being bullying instantly assumes it is the schools fault, yet they don’t target the actual bully first. Like I have mentioned in the previous paragraph, schools only have limited power when it comes to bullying.
Child abuse crosses a wide line or racial, economic, and cultural situations. Most abuse occurs inside the walls, and in most cases are hidden from the outside world. People go by the saying, “Don’t trust a book by its cover.”, and in these situations, it uses the saying in a great use. Lastly, people believe that, “Abused children always grow up to be abusers.” (Segal, Smith, Siasan) In some cases, it may be true and the cycle has not been broken, but most abused children grow up to have a reason and motivation to break the cycle. Most survivors of abuse actually grow up to help make a difference, break the cycle of abuse, and become excellent parents.
There are several studies, books, and articles that back and support my opinion and prove this to be true. Whether or not people agree with me or not, it is a proven fact in some cases. I do spank my children when I feel they have done wrong and no other punishments seem to work. I find it makes children more respectful toward their elders and mind what their parents say. I have witnessed other children who do not have proper discipline act out and embarrass their parents because they do not have anything to be afraid of or loose.
I think Ellen Degeneres is a very strong and brave woman to come out with a secret like that. DeGeneres’ family life and childhood had ups and downs. Ellen has one brother name Vance DeGeneres and a mother named Betty DeGeneres. Her parents separated and she moved with her mother and stepfather to New Orleans. Ellen’s brother Vance, had stayed with their birth dad at Metairie, Louisiana.
Others will hopefully learn from those mistakes and not do it. Why they shouldn’t be tried as adults? Kids who commit crimes are between the ages of 9 or 10. At, that age it is impossible for them to have the mental ability to plan or commit a crime yet alone understand the consequences of that action. An adult who commits a crime is punished for it and will remember it for the rest of their lives.
If he goes to a general counselor or therapist without expertise in domestic violence, the violent behavior and patterns of coercion, control, and entitlement may be not even acknowledged. Batterers often have a sense of entitlement that allows them to justify emotionally, physically, sexually and verbally abusing their partners. A very high number of batterers also physically abuse their children. Although some may never lay a hand on their children, if they are abusing the mothers, then they are indirectly abusing the children as
While in jail the juveniles will not have anything less different than the adults. The treatment is the same for everyone and that is very troubling for the kids. They get frustrated and wish they never get there at the first place. Probation has always cut it for these juveniles but not this time. They should be apprehended, judged in front of a jury and pay for their crime as much as any adult would have.
Bullying Bullying in schools is a normal part of school life, or is it? Many have believed over the years that bullying is a rite of passage, something normal and acceptable. This mentality is harmful, physically and mentally to both the victim and the bully. Some people argue that bullying is just a "rite of passage," but that certainly doesn't make it acceptable. Growing up, we all go through these situations where we are the victims of hurtful situations.
Effects of Bullying on Children Joanna Solis American InterContinental University ENG106 Professor Bennett May 14, 2012 Abstract Bullying causes so many devastating effects in people’s lives, especially children because many times they do not know what exactly is happening around them, much less the consequences words or sometimes even a push or a shove can have. Bullies need to understand that there are consequences for them too, in the long run, they could be faced with the same faith as the ones they themselves bullied. Whether it’s banter or just playing around, there’s a fine line between teasing and bullying. Effects of Bullying on Children Bullying has always been a part of American culture and it is seen in almost every school across the country. There are even some people that view it as a “normal” situation in which, in their opinion, everyone has to deal with at some point in time.
