Child Abuse

I came from a country (Philippines) where spanking and other punishments are widely used by some parents. I always see some kids being abused and badly hurt which leads of being rebellious and traumatic later in life. I admit that I have tried being put in the naughty corner and a few handful from my mom because I truly say that I push her patience very well. Now that I am a mother, I understand h

How to Report or Handle Potential Child Abuse - It may be shocking, but it is a fact that there are children that are traumatized by physical, sexual, and emotional abusers or by caregivers who ignore them.

Brothers and sisters of abuse victims often forced to help cover up or even commit abuse In many cases, when abusive parents with multiple children target just one child for emotional or physical cruelty, authorities often remove the abused child from the home and return the non-abused siblings. But brothers and sisters of abused children can suffer lifelong emotional scars from helping parents conceal the abuse or, in extreme cases, from being forced to participate in torturing their siblings, according to a study published in the current issue of the Journal of Emotional Abuse. While psychologists have repeatedly studied the lifelong emotional damage of untreated abuse victims, scant attention has been paid to their siblings, according to author Jane Hollingsworth, a licensed clinical ps

The letter below was in the Guardian today. This is of course what has been said all along. I am going to qualify this statement by saying this - Penny Mellor and Brian Morgan have categorically harassed David Southall for the last 10 years. This harassment extends to anyone who has written positive material about Dr Southall. The harassment has come in the form of 1. Abusive emails2. Abusive blogs3. Abusive statements on websites 4. Repeated complaints to the GMC, other organisations, not to mention the BPS in the case of Lisa Blakemore Brown. Both Brian Morgan and Paul Healthcote have been reported to the police. Penny Mellor is a Scientology award winner. Scientologists are also anti child protection and anti psychiatrists. Details of the kind of obscene messages that they post is detailed here . Penny Mellor's tactic is identical to the Scientology - Attack the Attacker scenario. The evidence that Ms Mellor actively recruits victims to Scientology is presented here. Having admitte

For years I stood before large audiences and saw looks of disgust and repulsion as I tried to "sell" the idea that we could best help the children by helping the parents! Teach them how to parent constructively. Not only did it save my state millions in foster care -- children didn't have to go into the system, thereby saving the taxpayers a bundle -- but it started a new generation of people who had healthy coping mechanisms to pay on to their children.Official government statistics usually lag behind about two years. I can tell you from my own experience as Executive Director of C.O.P.E, Inc., the official government statistics do NOT accurately reflect what's really going on behind closed doors. And from my own experience as an abused child, I know why so much abuse is NOT reported. Having listed my caveats, here are the statistics from 2005: According to Child Maltreatment 2005, the most recent report of data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), approxi

Child abuse linked to violent crime, says Dr. Allen: By KRYSTEL ROLLE, Guardian Staff Reporter - Nassau, Bahamas: A local psychiatrist said the rise in child abuse over the years might have a lot to do with the rising levels of crime in the nation, as abused or neglected children have an 80-percent chance of committing violent crimes or murder in their teenage and adult lives. Dr. David Allen, using information from a number of studies from the State University of New York, said abused children committed twice as many violent crimes compared to youth who were not abused. Allen, who is currently conducting local research on crime, indicated that the same trends are currently being seen in The Bahamas. His comments came during the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce Crime Prevention Seminar and Security Trade Show held earlier this week. "Psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis and colleagues found that in a study of 14 people on death row for violent crime and murder, 13 had suffered severe child ph

I'm always looking for ways to make the house run smoother. I pay close attention to the ways other parents seem to make this happen in their homes. I confess that sometimes I get really envious of moms with quiet, obediant kids when my babies are whining, sassy or just plain hard to control! I find myself wanting to ask total strangers their secrets of dealing with the strong-willed child and what forms of discipline they find to be successful. The only thing holding me back is that I'm afraid that the wild look in my eyes might frighten them! I try to think of creative, kind and effective methods of mob control, but I'm telling you that there are days when nothing seems to work. On those occasions I feel like such a blooming failure at parenting. I love these children so much and I want them to be functioning members of society, but how do I do this if I can't get them to behave? I typed all of that in order to rat another mom out, I'm sorry to say. Here's what happened a

Reading this gave me goose bumps. I support NAFASG in the fight against Child Abuse. Only the lowest of low can do something as horrible as this. I pray that justice will be given to the late Nurin Jazlin.This article is taken from NAFASG site:The Fight Against Child Abuse: A Tribute To The Late Nurin Jazlin (1999 to 2007)In our times of darkness, children are the ones who will brighten us up. No matter what ordeals we have to endure in our daily lives, we know that we can overcome them the moment we set eyes on children. Their innocence and purity in them will always give us a sense of peacefulness and calm that is beyond words. And it goes without saying that life would be meaningless without seeing them smile, hearing them laugh and cry, and feeling their small and flawlessly gentle hands that want to reach out to us.Yet, there are some who show no empathy and sensitivity towards these beautiful souls. Worse still, they would dunk themselves into physical violence and cruelty toward

While reports that the SPCA has dropped their investigation into her injured terrier pup should come as good news to Britney Spears, possible allegations of child abuse have put the troubled pop star’s celebrations on hold.The most recent development in the Spears - Federline custody battle took an unexpected turn today (August 27), as an unscheduled hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court was held to look into the child abuse allegations.Access Hollywood reports that lawyers for both Britney and Kevin attended the hearing in dependency court, which handles child abuse claims, among other things. Britney, however, did not make an appearance, as could be expected.“If the county feels the kids are at risk, they will begin an investigation.

More bad news for Britney Spears. The newly blonde Brit is now being investigated for possible child abuse. Social workers are said to be making enquirers into her suitability as a mother following more and more reports of her erratic behavior.

Although Spears was not present, her lawyer, Dennis Wasser, was said to be there along with Mark Kaplan, who represents her estranged husband, Kevin Federline.Just another nail from KFed hammer into Brit’s coffin.

A new Swedish study reveals the nation for over thirty years from the 1950s to 1980s allowed a systematic abuse of children who were placed in foster care homes. According to Goran Johansson, author of the report, there was “ruthless exploitation by means of physical labor, serious assault, psychological terror and rape.” Those entrusted with [...]

As I continue to struggle to come to terms with the emerging global climate crisis I’ve come to realize that many people who argue against the issue engage in a set of denials that I often experience as a psychotherapist when dealing with abuse dynamics. It seems there are three stages of denial a person must work through in order to fully accept responsibility for inappropriate behavior. I think

Karen has started a discussion about raising healthy kids. In her post, she says: Yesterday, the author of Violent Acres wrote this amazing post as a follow up to another one, both based on the fact that it is child abuse to have children you can’t afford. Her example was indicative of part of what is wrong with our society. Hello Queen of Obvious, once again, you hit the nail on the head. I would like to address this idea: …it is child abuse to have children you can’t afford. There are several things wrong with this argument. First, it’s abstract. How much income is enough to afford having a child? When posed it this way, and including a very generous weekly grocery budget ($150 for Karen’s family of four), one immediately excludes a large portion of the population. Second, abuse is abuse. I refuse to accept the labeling of WIC recipients as child abusers. I also won’t accept that the majority of people on government assistance are “deadbeats&rdq

There seems to be a lot of talk about how chaotic our society is. However, there is a heavy stigma associated with the chaos. People who are unable to function, are blamed and shunned by our society. While there is a general knowledge that alcohol and drug abuse is involved, but there is very little talk about what causes the basic problem. There is a stigmatizing assumption that people are of "weak character", inferior in some undefined way. Some related it to a lack of religious practice in their lives. Too many just write it off to laziness and a desire to live off of welfare. Why do people self-destruct? There are as many answers as there are people who walk through the door of an emergency department. But there is one frequent common denominator. People who engage in self-destructive behavior often have been traumatized. Sometimes they are crime victims or veterans from past wars. But most have been abused, or have witnessed others, usually loved ones, suffering abuse. Sometimes

UPDATE: Click Here. Today, perusing the various RSS news I get daily, I tripped over this article, in ScienceDaily. A search of the University of Manchester web site produced no mention of this work. A Google search found the apparent original source, a press release by the U of M. The article is a particularly disturbing example of the press distributing prepublication reports of results before the academic community has an opportunity to review the study. Even a simultaneous release of what appears to be a literature review would be better. Paul Hammersley, a nurse researcher at the U of M, makes some rather surprising assertions. It appears that the intent of this press release is publicity seeking by the U of M, perhaps in search of research funds. Here is the excerpt: EurekAlert University of Manchester researcher Paul Hammersley is to tell two international conferences, in London and Madrid on 14 June 2006, that child abuse can cause schizophrenia.

One of the more controversial statements made by Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion is that raising a young child as Christian, Muslim, Jew, etc., should be considered a form of child abuse. According to Dawkins, we should be appalled to hear someone talk about "a Christian child" because this reflects nothing more than the parents' religion and its imposition on a child too young to make up his or her own mind.Is there such a thing as a Christian/Muslim/Jewish child?The first question we must ask is whether there is such a thing as a Christian child, Muslim child, etc. I think that Dawkins is correct in answering that there is not. No child is born into the world with an established set of religious beliefs. These beliefs are acquired through a lengthy process of indoctrination. Thus, it is accurate to say that all children are born atheists because one cannot believe in something of which one has never heard. Of course, most children do not remain atheists for long, especially in A
