· Abuse happens and is more common then people realize
· I think that it is wrong for a parent or guardian to abuse their child but I don’t think that there is a problem with a parent or guardian to disicpline their child
· There are four major types of child abuse: physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse:
· physical abuse this is when the parent or guardian inflects in injury on the child by punching, beating, kicking, biting, burning, shaking or otherwise harming a child. The parent may not have intendtion to harm the child but may resulted from out-of-control or excessive discipline or physical punishment.
· neglect is when the parent or gurdian failes to provide the child's basic needs. Neglect can involve physical, educational, or emotional deprivation
· emotional abuse (psychological/verbal abuse/mental injury) includes acts or omissions by the parents, gardian,or others, that have caused, or could cause, serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional, or mental disorders.
· sexual abuse includes fondling with the child's genitals, intercourse, incest, rape, sodomy, exhibitionism, and commercial exploitation through prostitution or the production of pornographic materials.
· I feel that a parent has no right or no reason to do any of this to a child
· I also feel that it is the parents responable to pervent something like this to ever happen to there child
· I also feel that there is a different between abuse you child and disicplining your child
· Discipline begins with clearly communicating, instructing, and teaching your children. Both the Old Testament and New Testament word supports parent to disicpline their child but this is only the first step into disicplining your child
· The next step would be to train and direct the growth of the child
· And finale correction, meaning to take action if the child has done something wrong
· The difference between abuse and disicplining your child is that there is usally no reason for the parent to be abusing their child but the reason for disicpline ypur child is to correct the child when they have done something wrong, to trian the child and to teach the child right from wrong
