Maltreatment of children by their own parents is an act that the authorities
and the law should pay more attention to. Children, the future of a country, are
one of the most important factors to have peace in a country, so we must begin
putting an end to maltreatment. It is a logical belief that violence begins in
our homes, so let us start educating children to report their maltreatment to
the authorities. The purpose of this paper is to persuade children why they
should report maltreatment from their parents. Consequently, I will explain the
three main reasons why children should report maltreatment such as abuse or
beatings from their parents. Abuse causes physical and internal problems; once
abuse begins, it continues; and finally, it has a long lasting effect on
children even into adulthood.
The first reason why children should report maltreatment from their parents
is about the internal and physical problems that the practice of that act could
cause. Many times, parents beat their children because of different reasons, but
none of those reasons are acceptable. Even though the consequences of their
maltreatment may not be serious, children must always report it to the
authorities. Otherwise, the abuse of many children will still go on. If you need
medical attention at the time that you report maltreatment to the authorities,
they will give it to you.
The second reason why children should report maltreatment from their parents
is that if they don't, the abuse will likely continue. If parents know their
children can report them for that kind of treatment, they will think twice
before maltreating them again. Children must be sure about their rights, and use
them when they need.
The third reason why children should report maltreatment from their parents
is the effect that violence causes, especially in children. The idea is about
what happens if children do not report that kind of treatment; they keep inside
of themselves all the feelings that maltreatment leaves on them. Of course their
minds will be involved with thoughts about violence, resentment, malice, and
their acts will reflect these negative feelings in the future. The idea about
having peace in a country depends on children is pretty related with the last
statement. A country where children grow up on a peaceful environment will be
more peaceful than a country where children grow up being maltreated. Although
this relationship is not completely direct, there is a high correlation.
Finally, I will briefly repeat the three main reasons why children should
report maltreatment from their parents. First, the physical and internal
problems that maltreatment always leaves. Second, the reasoning of their parents
about committing maltreatment once again. And the last one, the mental fixing
about violence that maltreatment could cause on people, especially on children.
Many times I have wondered about how people are able to do so much damage. I
believe children, who are the future of the country, should report maltreatment
by their parents.
