Physical abuse as a punishment for children

First off, yes there are people hitting their children but there are laws out to protect children from being abused and there are people put in jail for abusing their children. "About 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder." (National child abuse statistics) This shows that children who are abused have a high risk of gettting a psychological disorder. There are statistics on child abuse and punishment and the numbers are growing as time is passing, it is become a problem. "More than five children die every day as a result of child abuse."(national child abuse statistic." This statistic proves that child abuse is a growing problem, it becoming an epidemic. It is really sad that there are children dying every day from abuse from there parents just because they did something wrong that they didnt like. This also goes with the fact that even if you don thave the intent to hurt your child alot , most of the time you dont know how much force your hitting them with and usually cause more damage than you wanted. In addition, taking away toys is a good method because you are taking away something that they like because they did wrong, which will let them know if they want to toy back they need to be on good behavior. An the "look" thing is not good for a child because it causes fear and distress on a child, which blocks them from learning anything because they fear you. Putting fear in your child is teaching them that it is okay to make people fear you and that can lead them to be very aggressive and anti-social when they are older. "Children who experience child abuse & neglected are 59% more likely to be arrested as a juvenile, 28% more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30% more likely to commit violent crime."(national child abuse statistics) This statistic shows that children are effected by the abuse and the fear that the parents puts into them as a child. This statistic also shows that by installing fear and pain into your child, it is causing them to commit violent crimes when they are older which makes them agressive. Furthermore, have a child fear you doesnt mean they respect you, they are just terrified of being in pain so they try to do whatever they can so they dont feel that pain again. Most children who are abused dont respect their parents because of their upbringing. And by causing them to dislike their parents, will also teach them to dislike others which leads them back to the anti-social behavior. Moreover, Chidlren are defenseless no matter what age they are because children under 7 dont know to call the police or how to call the police. In addition, children who are older than 7 can call the police but the fear that the parents installed into them from beating them prevents them to calling the police because they are scared of what is going to happen next. Children also dont have the stregthen or power that an adult has which makes them unable to do nothing in a situation, they just have to sit their an take it. "For every incident of child abuse or neglect that gets reported, it's estimated that two others go unreported."National Child Abuse Statistics. This statistics shows that children being abused goes unreported due to the lack of education, the fear of their parents, and their fear of what is going to happen for their future. As you can see that hitting your child is not the answer, and taking way objects is better than hitting, and will not cause the child to be violent.
