Growing up I never even came close to experiencing child abuse or neglect in my family. My parents were, and still are, very loving and caring. They have so much respect for my sibling and me, and they have never laid a hand on us. I know, I know.. some parents as well as children are thinking "What? Then there was no disciplilne in that house!" or "Lucky you!", but my parents never had to raise their hands on us. It is not necesarry to abuse a child simply because a parent is stressed or is going through a rough time in their life. Parents should be loving and caring because a child is a the most wonderful gift they could possibly recieve. That is why we should do the impossible to help these children who are being abused and neglected. Just put yourselves in those children's shoes, how would you like to get home every day from school with the fear of knowing you were going to get hit or mistreated. Here is a short video for you guys, especially children, to understand that your body is yours and no one should touch it.
