Answer 2

• Child Abuse such as sexual or physical harm towards that child (not including spankings done the proper way) should be dealt with very severely because the child has no way to protect themselves against their abuser be it parent, relative, family friend or a stranger. Some children don't even realize they are being abused and feel all families behave in this manner so they are not psychologically able to tell the difference.
  

child abuse should be more harsh because kids are the future and by abusing kids, you're just ruining the future

Answer 3

Punishment, like abuse, comes in many different forms. And unfortunately, it actually depends on a lot. The severity of abuse is a factor, along with weather or not the abuser was a male, female, minor or adult... then there are the different state laws. Each state has their own laws that deal with abusers and the severity of the consequences. The type of abuse is a big factor as well and also comes in several degrees. My recommendation for you is to contact your local law enforcement agency and talk to a Domestic Abuse Advocate. But keep in mind that abuse no matter how small you might think it is, is still abuse. And if you are scared or hurting because someone has deliberately made you feel that way, it is illegal and you have rights! I don't know much more I can say because the question was pretty vague, but if you would like to email me privately, I know of several laws that protect women and children against abuse. Not just from my work experience in this field, but because of my own personal experience being married to an abuser for years. My email is ElizabethHafford@Yahoo.com If you feel you would like to talk. Im here. Hope this helps a little. :) :)
