Divorce Parents vs. Divorce Children: The Abuse

1. 40 percent of children are being raised without the father.
2. One out of ten will also live through three or more marriage divorces .
3. Forty percent of children will experience divorce before age 18.
4.Children suffer emotional and physical damage do to divorce.
5.Most kids coming from broken homes are twice as likely to attempt a suicide.
6 More likely to be a high school dropout.

Estimates of the numbers of children who suffer physical abuse or neglect by parents or guardians range from about 1 percent of all children to about 15 percent, and figures are far higher if emotional abuse and neglect are included. Understanding the causes of abuse is crucial to addressing the problem of child abuse. Parents who physically abuse their spouses are more likely than others to physically abuse their children.

I believe, we are not teaching our children respect, love and care. We are allowing them to be subjected to violence on TV, Film and music, and violence is considered "normal". Drugs and Alcohol can play a big part. The breakdown of the family unit and increasing numbers of children who have poor or no relationships with their parents, unemployment and parental drug/alcohol abuse are also contributory factors on Parent Abuse. so, where are we going wrong? what can we do to stop this ongoing trend?
