The decision whether or not to remove a child from the home where the father repeatedly beat the mother, with the child witnessing these offenses; however, the fact that the father never mistreated the child is argumentative. In my opinion, the child should be removed immediately from the home where domestic violence is occurring, regardless of whether the child is involved or not. Parents are expected to support their child, keeping them safe in their happy, safe and loving home environment. Why does a child have to witness this violence on a daily basis? What happens emotionally to the child who sees his parents fighting and arguing every day? These questions are asked as a defense to remove the child from the home to ensure their safety and provide them with a worrying lifestyle. While discussing my arguments for the good of the child, I will examine the safety, well-being and how the child is directly affected by domestic violence within their family.

Wouldn't you consider the child every time a parent wants to take up an argument in front of the child, leading to physical abuse? From the child's perspective, they experience many different emotions running through their mind and body when they see their own biological parents constantly fighting. Although the child himself does not engage in abuse from his father, he still experiences emotional abuse from witnessing these altercations. Children can be affected in many ways by witnessing these arguments. Witnessing arguments in the same room... middle of paper ...... to their parents as role models in their lives, would you want your child to participate in arguments with teachers or classmates during that he is at school? When it comes to domestic violence within the parental relationship, parents need to look at their argument from the child's perspective and consider how damaging it may be to the child in the long term. The emotional effects of arguing in children can include anxiety, nervousness, depression, confusion and embarrassment. These negative emotional states may also include nightmares related to these arguments, upsets at school, and social problems with friends. Finally, how would a parent feel if their child believed that fights were caused by them? The amount of distress a child will endure if he or she fights and argues about his or her own personal flaws is detrimental to the child's well-being..
