Historical Context
Child abuse was influence by those who has the power to stop the violence giving much more importance to others topics. Parents had being given the opportunity to continue abusing over their children, by those who can contribute to the clinics to give help to the children and wasting all they have in other kinds of stuff, but not for the benefits of those who are getting hurt. According to Stories about Child abuse the story of Gareth he was a 7 year old boy when his abused had started and laste until he was 13 years old, Gareth was abused by his own father not only him, but his 2 other brothers. Also I think this problem is increasing over the time by knowing that theres less importance to this topic and because people have being focusing in others issues like immigration, racism, wars,education,etc.
Other ways that child abuse was influence is by the so-called social class, if you're poor you should live like animal and no matter whats happening to you or to your family no one would like to help you or at least give you a hand to get up and continue your life in a better way. Having to be label in a “Social Class” has being an issue that has being around for a long time and now that it affecting kids who are being abuse because they don’t have the needs necessary to go to therapies to overcome their trauma. Mentioned in the article of Child Abuse- The Hidden Bruises it is said “ In all kinds of child abuse, the child and the family can benefit from evaluation and treatment from a qualified mental health professional.” This quote is important because it clearly states that the kids and the family need to see a professional to treat their life experience that they went throught. If they don’t receive any help they would always be stuck in the issue that’s way there is the need for more resources for this families.
The cultural issue with child abuse is that in some cultures they believed that children shouldn't have any control over their live or bodies. The power that the parents or adults have over these children is huge since their culture that is involved with their religion makes them take this type of actions to forced them to do certain things. It is stated in the article of Judaism 101 that the Jewish religion does not allowed for the children when they grow up to marry whoever they want instead as soon as the kids are born the parents have a contract of marriage in which they officially have someone they have to spend their life with. This is crucial to the life of these kids since they don’t have any right to choose with who they want to spend their life with. Children that are part of the Jewish religion have many rights taken away and one of the most unfair is that they don’t get to choose who they want to spend their lives with.
The political problems that child abuse is involved in is how the laws of their countries don’t give them the help that they need to stop this abuse. The government should be able to give more hard punishments to the perpetrators of the abuse to these kids so, they won’t end up doing it to other infants. The article of Child Abuse Protection Laws mentions that the U.S there is a Prevention Abuse and Prevention act that protects children from any danger and harm possible. However, this act does not guarantee that the abusers would be spending enough time in jail. Every case of child abused is different and there would always be different punishments for those who harm them, what the government should do is give them the maximum punishment for them to do not have the opportunity to hurt anyone else.
In conclusion, child abuse is not only one issue is a lot of them and everything is involved talking socially,political, and cultural since that is how people have a more hard time dealing with children who are abuse. Abuse on children should obtain more attention since other issues that are important to, but the concern should be bigger with our children.
