Solutions: Child Abuse MAG
When people decide to have children, the general idea is to love and cherish them. But unfortunately this isn't always the situation. There are parents in this world who abuse children whether they are babies or teenagers. People like this are not fit to have children.
Whether it is physical or mental, abuse is wrong. Parents who abuse children should stop and take the time to get help, because the child will suffer in the end. Many children in this world die or become emotionally unstable because of abuse in the home.
Peers, educators, legislators and others should take the time to help not only the child who is suffering but also the parent. There should be counselors in the schools who specialize in these situations and other organizations to help the parents.
We as students can take the time and write letters and articles to newspapers and legislators to help our friend, relative or just another human being who is suffering, rather than just to talk about the issues. Innocent children should not be victims of child abuse. ?

That we need to help those poor children.
Not always, a parent can have a mental disease, or could just be missing the instinct that says "Don't hurt your child. That wrong.". This is not always the case but it happens. Yes the person could still help it but they would need to think, and if you are abusing you child, then you don't (think).
But no matter what it's still wrong.
I thought I did make it clear :/
The point is that adults who abuse children should be placed in a program where they can be helped. But I'm just saying if that doesn't help, we shouldn't waste our energy helping someone that simply can't be helped. We should then step aside and let the police take over.
I Agree 100%...I think Teens our age need to realize these things!

Most of the time parents who abuse their children were abused themselves as children. I am not condoning child abuse! But also, sometimes the parents don't see that they are doing wrong. They just see it as "discipline". We, as outsiders, need to just keep an eye out for children who may be victims. Or listen to people! I think that's a big problem we have. We don't listen when someone needs help. If we listen they may tell us something and we can tell the police. But starting a group won't help anything. The abusive parents won't stop just because there is a group.
I think all we can do is listen and just look for signs of abuse.
