Child Abuse

Children who experience child

abuse and neglect are 59%
more likely to be arrested as a
juvenile, 28% more likely to be
arrested as an adult, and 30%
more likely to commit
violence crime.
Do you really want that for our
society?
Child abuse is one of the most despicable

Did you
know?
More than 4
children die from
child abuse and
neglect on a daily
basis. Over 70%
of these children

crimes in the world, in my opinion. Why

would you want to harm a young, innocent
child? No matter what he or she has done,

they do not deserve to be abused. There is

a thin but clear, definite line between
punishment and abuse; spanking and put
in a time-out chair or corner is suitable
discipline, but beating a child with a cord,
slamming them into walls, burning them
with cigarettes, or even worse is ABUSE
and nothing but ABUSE. Children deserve
to live childhoods in peace and harmony.
Infants should live in a world of happiness
and love, not in a world filled with hurt and
shame.
Sedalk, who is a representative for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
reported that At least 1.25 million children in the United States experienced child
maltreatment in 2005-2006 ( 2010). Victims of child maltreatment are at high risk for a
causing the same harm and trauma that was made to them to their future children and
generations. Child abuse causes chronic health problems, mental health issues, developmental
delays, poor educational well-being, and future involvement with the criminal justice system.
The injuries and contrary outcomes associated with child maltreatment underscore the
importance of identifying effective and cost-effective prevention strategies.

Child abuse needs to stop! No need for the beating, harmful

words, and the dark bruises. Abusing is
always illegal either it is child, or it is
adult. It is more severe because
children do not have the capacity to
fight against the abuse. They dont
have that strength and are afraid to tell
anyone because they are threaten by
the abuser.
If the police found out that your
parents are abusing you, they will first
give them a notice not to abuse you. If
the abuse kept going, then law
enforcer will take action against your parents
and you will be sent to child care center under government
supervision, where the child will then be placed under a foster home or put up for
adoption.
Child abuse is a never ending cycle. It takes a very strong person to stop that cycle. Someone
smart enough to know what is right and what is wrong. Someone smart enough to know that no
child, as helpless as they are, deserve to be treated like dirt under someones shoe. Whoever
abuses any child should be sent to jail or placed in a mental facility.

No child deserves to live a life of fear, deprivation or

emotional turmoil!
