sam on other planets:
No one will say they are PRO child abuse.
but what do you think IS child abuse and what can we do to prevent it?


Child abuse is when a parent of guardian physically harms the child. They could also mentally harm the child. I don't have any examples in mind but that is what I see child abuse as. To prevent it, I know children have been put into foster care because of an abusive family. But I honestly don't know what we can do to stop it all together.

child abuse not only scars the victim for life but the other childern who have to see or hear it happening infront of the.
as a young child my brother was hit by my dad and i can just remember sitting in my room wishing the crying and screaming would stop and nothing my mum would do could ever stop him.
now ive moved out with my mum and i HATE my dad for what he has done.
Child abuse is wrong and NO child should ever have to be put through it.

abusing is always wrong so why would there be an exception with children?

I think child abuse is wrong
Its always been like that in my house since I was a little kid I remember all the screaming and yelling and all the shit that went on
It's kinda fuked me up, I havnt got anger issues or anything but what they did kinda contributed to be getting deppression. So it fuked me up a bit I guess.
It's weird I'm kinda used to it now, and I don't react to much to it really cuz I know my mum just does it cuz she's deppressed (I feel too sorry for her to say anythying back anymore) and my dad does it cuz of his meds (make him relaly moody) but I help my friends out alot about it too (cuz they go through simmilier shit) and they talk it over with me and they feel better and then I let them know that I'm there for them and everything.
My advice is if your friends are being abused and you dont think that you can help them or anything and that police or those guys from the child abuse department places cant help, you can always just talk to them about it, let them know that you are there for them and that you always will be and so on and try and cheer them up like take them to a movie or something or something that they wanna do. It really helps them cuz they usually feel heaps better afterwards, it works with my friends anyway...and theres always those hotlines if they ever need to call someone, they can help alot too

Yara; wtf...:
I don't think anyone on INO is FOR child abuse.
Instead of just posting "Against", share your opinions. How can we stop this? What are the long term effects of child abuse? Do you know anyone that used to be abused but got him/herself out of it?

Rather then only quoting something someone said, add something to it.

Any way, here's my 2 cents.

I don't know if any of you watch super nanny, but her methods include depriving them of of things they like when they are bad, a naughty corner ect.
And when they are good, they get stars on a chart, and at rthe end of the week, if they have a certain amount, they get a bigger reward.
She insists that smacking them doesn't do them any good at all, which she proves because some of the parents on there smack their chilren before she comes.

Which gos to show smacking isn't the best way.

Child abuse is horrible, IMO.
I wasn't abused but my mother ould hit me for disclipline.
Even if it's just discipline, I don't think it's right.
There are better ways.

Um, yeah thats Yara =]

I have never been beaten up by anyone.. so i dont know what it would be like but i can just imagine how alone you must feel.
The two people that you depend on and look up to and love you no matter what, hate you.
Thats must be so hard.

It really hurts me that people belive this is a way to punish thier children correctly

And maybe they arent in the right state of mind, But it still is very wrong

Well, in my opinion

parents should be allowed to spank or give a light smack on the hand. there is a big difference between beating and spanking. parents should not cross that thick line.

Land Shark:
My brother is beaten by my father. It never really stopped, the police couldnt, that dude with the bow-tie from child services couldnt, nobody. It has really screwed my brother up. He has serious anger issues and has been in Holly Hills because he got worked up and kicked his ex girlfriend (but she diserved it for being a bitch to him). He could be a normal, non-violent person if my dad never hit him.


that goes to show the people in this world are so cruel.

i was a victim OF child abuse, from my father, he coped and wen't to therapy and everything is great now, its more of a anger managment thing that set him off.

but i think child abuse, if not taken care of and stopped can have reprocussions later in life, like cause the child who WAS abused, to abuse children because they think it's whats right.
don't let my name fool you i wouldnt hurt a child Very Happy

AGAINST!
I would never hurt my kids (when I have them, later in life) because I dont want them to think 'violence is the answer', because its not.
I've had my parents smack me when I was younger, when I got bigger (9 yrs) I screamed at them to stop because it hurt, they did.
I wouldnt stop crying and moaning about the pain, it didnt actually hurt too bad, but I didnt like it, so I cried.
my brother gets smacked sometimes. I stick up for him and comfort him.
my mum has called me a few names here and there, I just ignore it, but if she does again I will say something to her.
I've been yelled at by both my parents, I dont get it anymore but my brother does.
I think in the long run it will affect the child, even if its just light smacking.
I get trust issues, (like the world is against me and this is all fake...or maybe im just crazy), I think because they said they love me but they didnt always show it.

child abuse is mean, everyone deserves a chance to be good.
once ladies get pregnant, they and their partner should go on a corse for...1 week and their should be specialists to test their anger and how they controll situations/react to bad or good behaviour.
if they seem un-fit then they can go to "parent camp" which could teach them how to be better at controlling.
this would cost lots to set up, but they could get vollentares(sp?) to help.

I think that its horrible. My dad used to hit me and 'spank' me and once hit me with a belt and I know some people who's dad hit them and their life turned out soo soo soo horrible at the end and they didn't have no friends because they were so smelly and poor and other things just because they were too afraid to get out of their room or else they'd get hurt.

well im very much against child abuse .
If a child is naughty you do not smack them (some adults when there angry dont no the force of how hard they are smacking a child and it could be very hard) the adults are grown up and need to learn other ways .

My parents used to smack me when i was younger but they dont rarely do it now .
But what does smacking lead too ? hitting and punching innocent kids and im sure if you think about it what can a child do that is so terrible that he/she deserves to be punched and smacked for ?
i think there are always alternatives for this type of thing I.E

sending the child to a time out area
taking away pocket money etc

im not saying those things are good because well my parents grounded me a hell of a lot ! But its much better than smacking a child .

If a child hits a kid at school and the parent smacks the child for doing that...does that not defeat the whole message and point of the punishment?
I'm completely against it. I think even a light smack or tap encourages violence, and I think there are other, better ways of punishing children. As for those that just abuse their children because of their own anger, I think it's disgusting and they need help.
