Some of these children may not be old enough to have a voice or they just are too shy. By having those in society aware of the signs and symptoms of child abuse we are hoping to break down the cycle.

Studies show that at 700,000 children are abused every year! The definition of child abuse, according to Childhelp.org is, "When a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failure to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child." This affects children by taking away their childhood and making them grow up before their time. Child abuse is present in the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton when Ponyboy tells the reader about Johnny, and how his parents abuse him. There are also fragments of Johnny talking about being abused. The book The Outsiders was written in 1967. At that time there was fewer cases of child abuse than there is in today 's time. This is proven in The Outsiders because it 's less common of a social issue that is included, rather than gang violence or smoking. Although it is unlikely that we will be able to fully eliminate child abuse, we can stop child abuse before it is too late.

It isn't always easy to notice emotional abuse because there are not any physical signs as there are in physical abuse. But, like physical abuse, hyperactivity, depression, and PTSD is seen, in emotional abuse. But there are other consequences of emotional abuse, as well. And even though it's hard to determine a direct cause and effect, of abuse, these are some of the most seen, consequences for children who have reported being emotional abuse.

Early Americans did not consider child abuse a crime.”Children over the age of 7 were made to work as hard as adults of the time period. They were beaten if they did not. Child abuse happens with children of all ages, gender, and religions, in any period of time.“ Likewise, the world can be identified as a bad bad bad place, where child abuse occurs around the world, and is even in the United States. “There are many factors that contribute to this repulsive behavior.

“The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect indicated that schools had reported more cases of child abuse than any other institution” as stated Dombrowski and Gischlar’s article (2006, p. 234). Schools being the intuitions that reported more cases are significant because children spend a lot of their time in school. However, the article states that 84% of all suspected abuse cases were never reported, which really does affect abuse victims lives (Dombrowski & Gischlar). Being a mandated reporter give school staff a role to protect children from cases of abuse and neglect. It is part of a duty of being a mandated reporter to report a suspected case of child abuse.

From the ages 5-11, children are in their primary stage of development, any kind of abuse would lead to severe and long lasting effects or traumas. In order for them to be able to overcome their traumas and live a productive life, they would most likely have to endure some form of therapy or counseling. This pattern is clearly shown through the novels Slaughterhouse-Five and Fifth Business. In Slaughterhouse-Five, Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist of the novel, is exposed to early childhood abuse from

Growing up my parents ran a daycare in(at) our house so I was always surrounded by children (the good and the bad). My parents were the type who had no problem enforcing physical punishments such as spanking, the flick of the hand, a pop on the mouth, etc. All these punishments are within the definition of acceptable punishment as stated by Oklahoma law (qtd. ---). They practiced this on me, my siblings, and the daycare kids (with parental consent). In different instances, this would come up in conversations and the reactions were for the majority “that’s awful” or “poor thing” or “I can’t understand how anyone could do such a thing” and I never fully understood why. My mother was raised with an abusive father and a compromising mother (who too was dealing with the abuse), so I have seen how a negative experience can have a positive impact/result (message) on a person/child. I have now grown a curiosity to understand the different limits of child abuse and believe what my parents did benefitted me and any other children who received this discipline. With that in mind, I am going to define, and explore different aspects of child abuse with some modern examples.

Each category, in turn, covers a range of behavior. The maltreatment of children not only affects the children themselves, but also affects the family by making it dysfunctional. To prevent this awful child-battering, people should know what exactly child abuse is, its effects, and how to refrain it. Understanding exactly about the concept of child abuse will make the abuser know that this behavior is wrong and that s/he needs to stop the mistreatment of kids.
