Child abuse isnt a new issues for us...
Child abuse is physcial, sexual or emotional mistreatment of children..
i hate the most is child abuse..children are the most weak bunch of peoples in our society..
they need love and care...not abuse..
children should be treat with love and care...
There are four major categories which are physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse and emotional abuse.
i hate the most is sexually abuse..
when children become victim of sexually abuse, they wont even dare to tell anyone..and this will create thought of phobia towards opposite gender...
In Malaysia, child abuse cases are getting more and more...keep increasing..
According to Social Welfare Department of Malaysia indicated each year at least 1,000 children in Malaysia are reported as victims. With high statistics of child abuse, children rights are taken away and children also loose the opportunity to live healthy and happily. Children are deserve to live healthy and happily but because of those "animal", they loose the opportunity.
In my opinion, child abuse is the most cruel action.Children are innocent,naive and weak.Why there are humans still bear to hurt them?why?? Is that our society is ailing now?? They are given an opportunity to live healthy and happily, but those peoples behave like animal have grab their opportunity.Those "animals" have make children lost the opportunity and creating a lot social problems.Child abuse cases are mostly found in poor family environment especially those where children are exposed to physical, mental and sexual abuse, as well as neglect, leave children vulnerable to major physical and emotional problems later in life.When children are been neglected and uncare,they tend to drop out of school and may eventually run away from home or having phobia in the rest of their life.
i hate the most action of child abuse is sexually abuse, so i will going to talk about sexually abuse cases.
