Domestic child abuse is an intentional attempt to gain control over
another person. The abuser may obtain dominance by verbal, non
verbal, emotional and physical means. Mostly children are becoming
the victims of this cruel act of torture. Observing the last two
decades, a high pitched increment in domestic violence is detected.
The entire society has been suffering from its adverse effects.
There are different types of domestic violence causing personality
damages in children; it includes a child eyewitness of any violent
event, indirect involvement in a vicious event, tolerating the
outcomes of some aggressive incident. Moreover psychological abuse,
sexual abuse, physical abuse and misuse of their belongings also lie
in the category of Domestic child abuse.
Children are so sensitive in nature; they need care, love and an
appropriate environment to build decent personalities and moral
characters. They need clear boundaries and reliable shelters for
their safety and security. A child being abused lost all his dreams
and hopes. His personality crashes into unpredictable and uncertain
consequences. Mistreatments leave the kids with loneliness and the
sense of being neglected and unsecured.
A wide spread kind of child abuse is negligence. When the basic
necessities like appropriate supervision, proper clothing,
sufficient food and hygienic living conditions didn’t get fulfilled,
the child got mentally and emotionally disturbed. These routines
threw them in discarded activities. To overcome his anxiety and
dejection they may get involved in bad activities such as taking
alcohol and
drugs.
Emotional back mailing and humiliating children also lie in the
category of domestic child abuse. It leaves the child with
disturbing and distressing scars. Giving bad names, continuous
criticism, negative comparisons, silent threatening, showing hatred
and limited parental communications, all contributes in damaging
child's mental and social growth.
Innocent children are also sentenced to physical harm or pain.
Wicked people fool around the child hitting, pushing, slapping and
stabbing with some sharp object. These intentional harsh behaviors
left the child with negative and unconstructive behaviors.
Sexual harassment with children is one of
the most disgusting issues the society is facing. Kids are insisted
sexual intimacy. Imposing oral or vaginal dispersion, commanding
nudity and other unacceptable sexual activities stroke insulting and
insolent threats in children's conducts and dealings. All these sum
in destroying the mental and physical performances.
Domestic Child abuse could be overcome by letting the child to
express his feelings and thoughts. Parents are highly responsible to
be concerned about their kids’ behavior. Care and affection from the
family grant the child with the feeling of liberation and self
contentment. Moreover, if a child suffered from being abused,
counseling and psychotherapy should be conducted in order to
eradicate the sense of fear and dread from an innocent soul.
