Reasons for child abuse

Answer 1

AbuseMany people who abuse children were themselves abused.Sometimes, they just don't know any other way of handling child rearing. We do learn parenting skills from our parents. Other times it appears to be "payback", as the abuser is no longer small, scared and helpless, but now can be in charge.

Often times the abuser has been abused by someone when they were young. they probably want to let their anger out.

Though there are many explanations for abuse, there should never be any excuses. Today, there are many ways to get help if your anger and frustrations are out of control.

Get help. And if you know an abuser, don't turn away. Protect those children. Stop the cycle of abuse!

ABUSING YOUR OWN CHILD IS DUMB! I MEAN, WHY WOULD YOU ABUSE THE ONE YOU LOVE? YOU SHOULD LOVE YOUR CHILD, NOT HURT THEM!

Answer 2

Children are abused in many areas. Parents allow themselves to do it to their own kids. Parents were raised in foster homes,were abanded,neglected,abused and hit on. So, when parents have kids they decide to do the same the way their parents did them because of hurt and lost pain. Especially dads. Most people do it over stress. But, they do not blame themselves for what they do to their children.

Answer 3

The answer according to Dr Joel Akande of http://www.myeexpert.com, is simply that the abuser lacks insight into the value of the child. If you appreciate a thing say your car or your gold, you will protect it.

In general, human beings abuse anything (earth, animals, elderly people, strangers, people of different colours etc) that they either can not understand nor knows its true value. Children are not different, regardless of various theories and claimed background histories of the abuser. No matter what the abuser may be going or may have gone through, as long as he/she maintains deep insight as to the child's value, the child will be protected.

1. The child's parent is drinking too much alcohol and is out of control.

2. The parent abuses drugs and is not in control or able to be responsible.

3. The child reminds the abuser of someone they hate and take it out on the child.

4. The child may be handicapped and the parents may not know how to deal with the child properly or get frustrated with the child.

5. The child may be a little bit hyper and loud and the parents don't know how to deal with the child or are frustrated with the child.

6. The child may misbehave a lot and the parents don't know how to deal with him or her or the child pushes the parents to the limits. The parent then abuses the child.

7. The child may be why the parents are not getting along or the parents marriage is in serious trouble and they take it out on the child.

8. The parent were abused as kids and they do it too.

9. Stress drives the parent to take it out on a child violently.

10. The abusive parent may feel the other parent is paying to much attention to the child and is taking his or her frustration out on the child.

11. The parent is mentally and needs to be seen by a doctor but no one ever does anything about the mental illness problem until the child has been killed by that parent.

12. The number one reason is that abused children grow into abusive parents unless they learn other ways to cope and honestly face how they treat other people.

I must also point out there is no real viable and acceptable reason to abuse a child. It is never ever the child's fault, but the abusive parents may not want to get help or think they need to stop abusing the child. And these are only a few of the reasons why the parent may abuse a child.

You can get more information on child abuse from the hospital, doctors offices, associations dealing with child abuse and from a school official. If you know a child who is being abused please call a hot-line. The hot-line numbers are in the telephone books. Or report the child abuse to the child's school. Or call the police.

Because, there is a hell of a lot of people out there that dont care and really can not be bothered with there children or what happens to them. to be honest if people are going to abuse why have them in the first place?

Answer 5

There are many excuses adults use to think child abuse is acceptable. It's disgusting. I was abused as a child and my step father used the excuse simply because he 'didnt like me'. The person causing the child abuse may have mental health problems or anger issues. Some people don't see any wrong in hitting and abusing a child but they have no idea how it affects the child. It sticks with them for the rest of their life. There isn't one specific reason why child abuse is so common now, I just know that it's absolutely appalling behavior and the adults causing it deserve to lose EVERYTHING they have.

Answer 6

There is not any single fact which causes child abuse; abuse usually occurs in families where there is a combination of risk factors. Abuse and neglect occur most often in families who are under pressure and lack support.
