Not all victims of child abuse become abusers themselves. While there is a higher likelihood for individuals who have experienced abuse to repeat similar behaviors, many victims grow up to break the cycle of abuse through therapy, support, and self-awareness. Seeking help and healing from past traumas can significantly reduce the risk of becoming an abuser.

A good thesis statement on child abuse?

Child abuse has been happening all over the world to young children, but many of these things are kept hidden, because the children are too scared to speak on the issues at home. People sometimes know what is going on but choice not to call the authorities because they feel it's not their concern. In the past I have view many TV ads on abuse but they really do not speak on the real issues


Why do some stepfathers abuse only one of their children?

Sometimes abusive stepfathers target one child due to individual vulnerabilities or perceived threats to their control. They may also have unresolved issues with the child's biological parent or harbor feelings of resentment towards the child. Abusers can manipulate situations to isolate, groom, and exploit certain children, leading to differential treatment within the family dynamic.

Who is Ralph Underwager?

Ralph Underwager co-wrote two books, The Real World of Child Interrogations (1990) and Accusations of Child Sexual Abuse (1988). His work was heavily debated and was very controversial. His ideas have been contested in the scientific literature and in legal cases. His work concluded that most accusations of child sexual abuse stem from memories implanted by faulty clinical techniques rather than from sexual contact between children and adults. His books have not been well received in the medical and scientific press. He was the co-founder of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. He was accused of making pro-pedophilic statements during an interview with the Dutch journal Paidika in 1991. He has been accused of harassing a researcher (Anna Salter) that questioned the accuracy of his legal testimony and research.

What fraction of women who have experienced some sort of childhood abuse turn lesbian later in life?

Sexual abuse of a child may result in altered sexuality in male children who have adult male abusers. However, the incidences of sexual abuse performed by women against female children are so rare that there has not been a study on whether or not this results in altered sexuality. In all cases, altered sexuality due to child sexual abuse changes the abused child's sexuality so that they become attracted by some quality of their abuser. This may be their gender, appearance, and/or personality. It does not always occur, and often even when it does occur, victims who find meaningful, healthy relationships move past it.
