Essay / Beating and abusing children is unethical - 638
Child abuse is one of the major problems facing society today and common people are not even aware of it. They don't know that about four to five children die every day (Child Abuse Statistics). Due to lack of knowledge and concern, they do not care what the child has to go through when he or she is subjected to mental, emotional, sexual and physical abuse. Let's take the example of Heavenlea – a victim of child abuse – who was abused from the age of 6 until she was 18. She was emotionally, mentally and physically abused. Her parents beat her, spanked her, and once her father slapped her in the face, which almost left her blind. This is what a child must endure when he is the victim of abuse. Abuse threatens their emotional and mental stability. Parents or guardians emotionally abuse their children by insulting them, cursing them, and telling them that they are worthless and that having them was a mistake. They may harm them physically or simply ignore them as if they never existed by not taking care of their food and medical needs. Child abuse is defined as “any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs the health and physical or emotional development of a child,” which includes any harm caused to a child without any acceptable reason ( child abuse).
