Child Abuse – A Severe Trauma
July 15, 2008
Fundamentally, child abuse is the ill treatment of the children in physical, emotional or psychological terms. It is prevalent worldwide. The neglect may be in educational terms as well. While physical abuse includes punishing the child by shoving, sexual abuse includes exploiting the children or fondling. The effects on the psychology of the abused children are tremendous and many may require full therapy before rehabilitation.
SYMPTOMS OF CHILD ABUSE
Today, the child is not even safe from its immediate family. Verbal/emotional abuse may become a norm early on with dominating parents putting high expectations of perfection and occasionally giving strong beatings to the child. The domestic help hire (while parents are away at their respective jobs) may also subject the child to abuse. In schools many kids may be bullied physically or abused by the seniors. All these force the child into anxiety, depression and forced seclusion. It may shut itself from the outside world with no one to confide out of guilt. The symptoms may manifest as post –traumatic disorder, severe anger, hostile reactions, and irritability. This reminds us of an incident when two 12 year old kids fired gunshots in their school. This violence in their behavior was later linked to childhood abuse early on.
LINE OF TREATMENT OF ABUSE
The trauma of the abused children may be offset by a constant therapy focused towards their depression and inner rage. The parents should start joint therapy with the child to come to terms with the scars of abuse and bring back the child to love life by their care and homely atmosphere. School counseling may be an added plus as child may feel light after unburdening its fears. A strong network of friends may help the little hearts heal positively and be active again socially as good citizens.
The failure to provide children with their basic fundamental rights by neglecting their education, food, clothing, medical treatment and emotional/sexual maltreatment all come under the category of child abuse. The incidence of child abuse, however, is lowest in UK. The antidote lies in improving the parent and child bonding, preventing domestic violence and making laws strict for the violators and steady counseling to soothe the wounds of child abuse.
