Most individuals in America believe that children need discipline, a tactic used to enforce the rules and instill proper behavior. Although discipline may be crucial to a child's development, too many Americans take it to the point of abuse. Justified, reasonable discipline is not what this blog is referring to. It is also in no way arguing that parents don't need to have consequences when their children make unacceptable choices. It is supporting the concept, however, that when a person harms a child for no reason other than to exert their anger or stress, they are abusive. Contrary to some beliefs, child abuse is not a deserved punishment. If you feel the need to argue that a child must earn safety from their parents or any other individual, please do so elsewhere.
Abuse comes in many forms: physical, sexual, and emotional. It can also be neglect. Each form of abuse influences a child's behavior and puts them at risk. This blog was designed for the sole purpose of informing America about this issue, which will only end when we become aware and take further steps to prevention. It will continue to grow if no attention is drawn to it. You decide if you want to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution.
