Child Abuse

Imagine two children holding each other while sitting in a corner afraid. The older one of the two, holding the other while covering their eyes from the sight of their parents arguing out loud and the sounds of things breaking throughout the home. The fear can be seen on the children's faces with their eyes full of tears and constant sniffling. How would seeing that make you feel? Abuse can cause long lasting effects on people especially children. There are different types of abuse. Mentally, physical, sexual, and emotional are a few out of the many ways that affects a person.

“Every year, thousands of women and children become victims of domestic violence and child abuse” (Taylor, par. 3). Any form of abuse is something that leaves scars on a person for the rest of their life. The effects can be numerous depending on the victim and it will be something the victim will always remember. The effects can range from the children bullying other children, abusing their own kids when they get older, running away from home, moving far away from their family, committing suicide, etc.

People see abuse and domestic violence in different perspectives because of how everyone thinks in different ways.
