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.
In the article “Just whom is this Divorce good for? By Marquart she explains, “We found that children of so- called “good” divorces often do worse even than children of unhappy low- conflict marriages. They say more often, that family life was stressful and they had to grow up to soon. They are themselves more likely to divorce and children of divorce feel like divided selves”. I would have to agree with that because I am actually going through my parents getting a divorce and when I found out I didn’t want to believe it at all I didn’t want to see my parents split up it just wasn’t right to me.
Spanking your child without telling your child what they did wrong or why they are being punished can leave a child feeling unloved and undeseable. Some parents have been known to torment their child for every little thing they have done wrong, instead of using spanking as a form of discipline. Parents that have not been properly taught by other parents before them on the proper way to spank, can spank their child too much and have a child becoming violent and non good person for the society. A spanking should be a last recur. A parent should first explain to their child what he/she did wrong.
A single mother can try her hardest to keep a child away from making bad decisions, but if the mother doesn’t have any type of family support, chances are the child will guide himself to other unsafe, and unhealthy resources. Fathers who abandon their families might also add to the problem. Children tend to act up after their father has abandoned them. Children might act in violent ways, with anger issues and other hidden emotions.
Family life can be characterized as chaotic and uncertain. Structure and rules may be either nonexistent or inconsistent. Children, who may not understand that their parent’s behavior and mood is determined by the amount of alcohol or other drugs in their bloodstream, can feel confused and insecure. They love their parents and worry about them, and yet feel angry and hurt that their parents do not love
To then come back and remove the children would be such as another charges to the criminal, and seems unconstitutional, unlawful, and wrong. One could declare that placing these children in crowded circumstances that would happen from the performance of this strategy would do more damage than excellent. Not all juveniles placed in enhance excellent proper care are there due to bad parenting. Some of these children end up there because the mother and father can no longer control their activities, or in between doing stints in teenager area. All mother and father or parents who lose their children would not have the same degree of violation, which runs the risk of children from better surroundings being taught through the same Public Concept adverse activities and assault from other children.
The failure comes from their inability to care for their family member in a home setting. The fear is a result of multiple factors; poor publicity for nursing homes, financial concerns, and even fear of the unknown. Feelings of sadness obviously are related to the general issue of long-term care being an end-of-life placement. The new resident is often faced with a myriad of emotions as a result of the placement; resentment, depression, anger, confusion, feelings of worthlessness, and fear are a few examples. The resident may even attempt manipulative behavior to convince family that placement isn’t safe or to instill so much guilt that the family will take them home.
If they had low self-esteem this could mean that the child/ young person may be facing further abuse in their parenthood as they are very defenseless. If someone has been abused from a child it may mean that they could possibly never reach their full potential. This would be due to depreciation that they had faced and possibly end up making them feel powerless to take on a role which would consist of obligation. Not being able to have relationships with people in the future, making friends as a child and finding a husband/partner once in parenthood. Self-harm would make the service providers very mistrustful as the pain imposed on them by themselves is showing as the pain they are facing at some other point with someone else.
If this structure is damaged, the child’s perception of what is appropriate in terms of morals and socializing skills will become damaged as well. Parent psychopathology plays a key role in this because if the child’s parents are mentally ill, it is likely that their values will be skewed, therefore distorting the child’s morals. Substance abuse of the parents will also increase the child’s chances of being in a gang because most likely the parents will not be able to properly support the child, emotionally and financially, and the child becomes forced learn how to take care of his/herself. Marital distress will also precipitate the child’s need to be in a gang because the child needs to feel a sense of belonging, something many troubled children believe a gang will provide. If the family is impoverished, this only adds to the likelihood of the child joining a gang.
If parents control their children too much, later they feel ashamed and doubt their abilities. Also, teens loose respect and love toward parents. Moreover, they can become suspicious to the people around; and when these children grow up and become parents by themselves, they will not be able to provide necessary warmth and supportive environment to their children, which will bring up too cold and unfriendly generation.
