CHILD ABUSE "Secretly endured and openly denied".

Children are one third of our population and all of our future. ~Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981

How is it that we live in a country that has no law for child abuse? Is our country really that perfect that they didn’t see the need to add anything there? Is our society so nice that all they give its children is love and respect? Every society has its inhuman corrupted minds, whether their your parents, or mine, no society is denied from abuse. But to have a whole country without any law what so ever preventing such an act is just humiliating to know.

Yes, I am ashamed to know monsters like that, I call them monsters because the dirt is where they belong, in the dark is where they’ll stay, and blind from heaven because of all their wrongs.. I am ashamed to know that monsters (I will not refer to them as parents, as they are not worthy of that title, trash would be more suitable in my opinion) will go far enough to see their daughters bleed, their sons cry, and get a fine taste at it, because it’s what they live for, what they breathe on, to see their children suffer makes them feel superior, better, and gives them the justification of DECIPLINE to remove their veil of anger and place it upon their children or child, as anger is the main reason behind abuse. Is all anger bad? No. anger is a feeling, just like joy. But there is a fine line between being angry at your kid for lying about washing their hands, and beating the crap out of them for it. You see for those of you parents that are too ignorant to understand sometimes, this is why we call them CHILDREN, and why you supposedly refer to yourself as an adult (I don’t see why though). A child is supposed to run around, be creative in summer camp, and worry about who gets on the slide first. Punishing your kid on a daily basis and depriving them from food will do nothing but create a terrible representation of yourself, and we all know that we don’t need another you; no no, I think the world has enough sick psychos. Wouldn’t your husband agree?

These monsters are ignorant of karma, neglectful of fate, and aggressive with the all mighty God. No heavens gonna be under YOUR feet honey, you can kiss that goodbye. Islam is against child abuse and stressed the importance of giving your children all the love and care in the world: “"Fear Allah and treat your children with equal justice." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

When you abuse your kids, you’re abusing God’s gift to you. You are basically telling God that his beautiful gift isn’t good enough for you, that you don’t like it, your kid too ugly for ya? (maybe that’s why you look so much alike). I highly doubt God will give you another gift, he gave you a chance, maybe two, maybe four to make your kids’ lives better than yours. Unfortunately it rarely works out like that, as abused children become abusers; they end up treating their gifts like their parents treated them, maybe even worse.

This is a broad, painful subject to me, it has made me cry myself to sleep countless nights, made me question God why he lets me witness such things with the special people in my life, makes me realize how much appreciation I have come to have to be who I am today, and plan BIG on changing others tomorrow. Stop using discipline as an excuse to beat your kids. Discipline is one thing, and watching them bleed is another. Your children will love you, might forgive you, but will never forget any of the things you do/did to them, because you do not have the RIGHT to beat your kids. You do not have the RIGHT to emotionally make them feel worthless. Just because you feel bad, doesn’t mean your kids should pay for it. Just because you had a terrible childhood, doesn’t mean that it’s OK to let history repeat itself. Just because you still feel that burn, that hurt, doesn’t mean that you should it make it heel by placing your past demons on your children. They are angels, they are heaven’s alternative in earth, they are what makes this world a happy place. They are the reason we love sunshine and rainbows and bunnies, because we love our kids so much, they bring out all the love and beauty in this world. The abuse you do to them is taking all that beauty and love away. YOU are the reason behind the lack of beauty and love in this world, if you choose to keep that up then that’s fine, but don’t expect your life not to take a sharp turn into darkness, the way you sharpened your children’s’ lives towards that direction. If you’re going to hurt your kids do them a favor – don’t bring them, they don’t want you, trust me!


According to Professor Harry J. Gaynor, Ph.D, in his paper “The Root of Child Abuse: Anger”
The following data (from the National Child Abuse Protection Agency) describes that in 1996, there was an estimate of 4,000,000 reported suspected child abuse cases. And by 1999, that number doubled. Newer statistics show that a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds, Almost five children die every day as a result of child abuse, and more than three out of four are under the age of 4. These are only REPORTED estimates of child abuse happening in the United States alone. No one is sure of accurate numbers, as heavy burdens of shame come with being an abused victim. Child abuse occurs at every and any level of ethnic and cultural lines, within all types of religions and at all levels of education. This is the sad reality, this is the world we live in. we can choose to ignore it. We can do something about it. But in the end, it is the children that suffer, not the parents, because they are not the victims anymore. They WERE victims if they had suffered in their childhood, but what good will it be to label them as adults if they repeated what happened to them to someone else?


To conclude, I strongly recommend looking into the cited work below for more information, as this issue should be stressed. With abuse come four kinds: emotional, physical, sexual, and child neglecting. Children won’t tell because of the fear and same it holds within them. Don’t let someone else be a victim because you were, don’t ruin someone else’s life, you of all people should know how that would feel like.
