Child abuse is a phenomenon in this century; every where in each country, there’s so many cases about child abuse; and it’s hurt to read about the facts. According to data from the Administration on Children and Families, in United Stated at 1998 there were an estimated 2,806,000 referrals of child abuse or neglect to relevant state or local agencies. And it’s increasing every year.
These referrals resulted in an estimated 903,000 confirmed victims of maltreatment, a rate of 12.9 per 1,000 children nationwide. Of these, 11.5 percent suffered sexual abuse, 22.7 percent suffered physical abuse, and 53.5 percent suffered neglect. A quarter was victims of more than one type of maltreatment. Additionally, approximately 1,100 children died of abuse or neglect, a rate of 1.6 deaths per 100,000 children. From all forms of abuse, about three quarters of the perpetrators were parents.
In Thailand under aged children sold by their parents and forced to be prostitute. In china Children helps their parents as a low prize labor and work as much as adult people to earn money. There’s an aphorism said home are safest placed for children to grow. But look what happen now? Sometimes parents didn’t care with their child, and forgot about their children authentic right.
Children have rights, they are human too and they need to be taking care of by parents. If you are not ready to take the responsibility, do not have a child. Every parent has problems in their marriage, like economical, dishonesty problem, etc but it doesn’t mean that children have to be responsible for it. If you have problem, try to explain wisely to your child. Act like you are strong, and holds them in your arm. And don’t make your child suffer with your problem.
Child it’s a big gift for parents and parents should protect the child. Stop abusing the children, starting from yourself.
