The possible causes of child abuse

Nowadays, that are a lot of child abuse cases popped out especially in current society. The public should take attention and concern as well to reduce the percentage or possibilities of causing the child abuse because we all knew that children really have only a few basic needs such as food, shelter, love and as well as care. Basically, they do not even need anything else beside all these basic needs. Thus, if they are not being given the basic needs that they needed always, they may become very demanding and at the same time the parents may turn on them and this can cause the child abuse.

That is undeniable that most of the child abuse cases seems to be children of parents who are too busy in earning a living and do not have much time for thier own children. Besides, there is reported that more cases seems to be occured in and around the big city such as Kuala Lumpur while the rural areas do not generally have such problem.

In a modern city like Kuala Lumpur, earning for the costs of living is not an easy task. Most of the public have to struggle to make ends meet and thus the demands of work is already enough to fray the nerves of the parents. There is suspected that some of the parents who are too obsessed with his or her work obviously is lack of time to spend with their own children. By the time he or she returns from work, all he or she wants is just some kind of rest and not for anyone to bother or disturb him or her. A child, who has spent the whole day without the parents, yearns for attention and thus may demand it from the parents. In such a case, there is always the high possibility that occured in just about every household, the parents will have to be very careful not to lose his or her temper. Therefore, in many cases, the parents may pacify the child with a lot of presents or even a trip or anything that is able to get back the peace and quiet.
However, anger may overwhelm the parents and he or she may release violence onto the children.

In order to escape from the demands among the children, some of the parents may hand them over to the day care center or child-minders. This kind of handing over of responsibilities does not solve the problem at all. All too often the minders are suffering the same difficulties of making a living and take on the children to supplement thier income. Therefore, They are surely not going to be patient with someone's else children. As the result, there is occuring of the child abuse of often worse than what the parents can mete out.

People who are living in the country are less prone to child abuse simply because they do not have the stress of city living. They are still closer to the nature and this has the effect of making life being easier and simpler. Children are less demanding as there are less things to demand. Therefore, that is rarely that we hear of child abuse in the villages. Besides, the neighbours know each other very well and if there is any occuring of child abuse, they can find it out in the shortest period of time. On the other hand, in the impersonal cities, the abused victims can get killed and no one might even know about it.

In conclusion, perhaps the public can take a cue from the country folks. Parents will have to reappraise thier priorities in doubting about is making a living the only important thing or are the welfare of thier children of greater importance. They should figure it out themselves.
