Everytime I hear about children who suffer from the hands of their parents abuse, it makes me sick to the stomach, you know, there's alot of women out there who are not lucky enough to have children of their own and yet, you hear something like that happening to an innocent human being, tell me how does that make you feel! What are your reactions when you see or hear something like that. What do you do.

Hey Bob. Naturally when I see this kind of thing going on, I report them, no way will I think twice about it or how the parents feel, my first concerns are that of the child/children, and for me it does'nt matter who's child it may be, If I see child abuse going on, thats simply what I do, report the parents, the adults, the supposedly role models for there families... This kind of thing makes me feel sick and angry, and more so at those certaint onlookers, who are entertained by it all and do stuff all to help the child, for me these type of people are just as bad as the abusive parents... Awsome post... Keep it up!!!

Hey Nard, thank you for your thoughts towards this discussion, as I like you think that yes parents/ carergiver are meant to be role models for children, so they can grow up knowing that they were loved and not abused! Thanks

Yes, abuse in any degree is quite tragic. I was physically abused by my biological father until the age of 6. And then, I was sexually and severly mentally abused by my stepfather. I had to endure abuse all my life. It does make me sick to my stomach thinking about all the abuse. It is terrible that anyone could harm a child with any form of abuse. Every time I hear of a case where this has happened to an innocent child, it makes me want to cry. I know what the devastating after effects are, and it is awful that these children have to deal with it. Abuse never goes away, and many times requires professional help to deal with later.

Not only does it makes me sick, I feel like crying because they do not deserve this. Especially those that has been sexually abused, I really am very upset for them and hope that they can get out of the horrid situation as soon as possible. I hate to hear of such things because it just feels as though a knife just went through my heart.
