Ending emotional child abuse

Even though emotional abuse is less then 5% out of all possible abuse it is no less devastating 80% of all children abused in anyway suffer from life long psychological disorders. As a child I observed that society never likes to tell any child that a family member or care taker doesn't love them so they avoid assuring the child that the person that supposed to love them would ever harm them especially if the scares cannot be seen.

However , please remember that abusers never see what they do as harmful and whether they love them or not is never the issue, An abuser more often then not abuses because they were abused in some way Please never feel that just because an abuser means well by a child that a child should accept abusive behavior, however explaining to the child why their abuser might act the way they do can be helpful, but SHOULD NEVER be the focus of helping the victim of any abuse.

Forgiveness of abuse should always be encouraged , but first an for most the abusive behavior must be stopped!

If you suspect a child is suffering from any kind of abuse please report it. You will also be helping the abuser because if they are abusing they will be given the opportunity to learn why they abuse and most importantly, how to stop. Even if your not completely sure report anyway. You can always make an anonymous report. If you suspect abuse call your local crisis hotline or 18004Achild
