Child abuse

Just now I saw an incident that really hurt my heart. One of my neighbors teaches lessons at home. And he taught a kid about 4 or 5 years old. The last few days, I heard that kid crying so hard and there was a pretty loud banging sound. Until today, the parents of the kid came. And what I was most upset about was that the kid parents hit him and scolded him too. What's wrong with their brains? He's just a kid, they should be able to say nice things to that kid. It hurt so much that I almost cried. And yet I cannot interfere. In the end the child somehow shut up and finally went home. I don't really understand parents who abuse their children like that. I hope they got karma from what they had.

There is a very thin line between disciplining a child and child abuse. Parents and caregivers or teachers should always be aware of it.

@Shxrubia Discipline is needed for a child to grow up into a responsible citizen and individual and should not cross he line of child abuse.

You're right, they should be educated.

The beatings use to happen priorly not anymore I thought. It's sad to know it's happening now also. Children needs to be talked to and made them understand certain things instead of beating or yelling at them.

That's right, we can talk quietly to them and make them understand without resorting to violence

I agree with you. There are parents who thought that by hitting their child will understand that what they did was wrong when the truth is the kids will only remember the hitting and not the lesson

@Shxrubia It is based on my experience. My mom got so mad at me for something I can`t remember about but I can still remember how she spanked me that time Although, I started to be more careful in what I do after that

Child abuse is wrong and if you think a child is getting abused you should notify the authorities.

There still many parents who think that violence against children is the same as educating children.

That's right, they don't know that's what makes a kid a rebel

Oh my God, what a terrible news! What did the kid do though? But even if that kid did something wrong the parents shouldn't hit them. Praying for them from here.

I guess the kid don't want to study. But that's not the reason that guy can beat a kid up on his own.

You should have interfered and speak your mind. That child's angels always see God's face and this is written in the Bible. So the child's angels always reports everything to God. Next time it will be good to defend the child. I also don't like when children suffer
