Some parents have even faced jail time because of this, which I think they need that because children are so innocent and have nothing to with the problems we face every day in life. Studies have showed that men who do abuse their significant other, tend to physically abuse their children. So imagine this, parents who have sons that look up to their fathers will think it will be okay to this and carry this with them as they grow up and have their own children. It's basically like a domino effect, once the child sees the physical abuse occurring, they will remember it and keep that habit throughout the future. Another problem with that is if they have younger siblings, since they are witnessing what is going on, they will think it will be okay to do that to each other. People who have studied this have said that parents who have been abusing alcohol are the main ones who physically abuse their child. This is another big effect on the child as they get older. Alcohol does not go good when you have a lot of problems going on, especially to those parents who are new to parenthood. We adults have to really focus on our children and be the best role models to them, so they will be the best to their kids in the future. .
Emotional abuse is another big part in a child's life. Having children is a very important part of life because they require a lot of attention. People have their own point of view when it comes to emotional abuse or neglect. When a child is going through this, it's because the parent is not paying attention them, isolating them from socializing with other children, not fulfilling the child's need or etc. As the child becomes an young adult, they develop different disorders like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or even have thoughts of suicidal. The way you can tell on a child when they are going through emotional abuse is if they are being isolated, scared of different things or they tend to not trust, to even their own parents.
