There is no 'one' reason for committing child abuse, and we all know that it's a sad sight to see - very sad for the child involved. It's a cumulation of events and mental states that evolve into child abuse.
Probably the most common thing between child abusers is that they all experienced the exact same type of abuse as children themselves. How far back that goes into their history, we don't know. Stopping the cycle can be a rather difficult process through counseling, therapies, and other helpful activities.
Another commonality are stress factors. You see child abuse a lot with familiar on the lower end of the financial ruler. We all get stressed at times about our financial situations, but many people have problems dealing with stress. What they resort to is physical exertion rather than taking the steps necessary to solve the problem at first thought. Unfortunately, on the receiving end of that stress is the children of the family.
Another thing is anger issues. This can tie directly into the stress, but can also serve as its own problem. You get angry, what do you do? You have to let that anger energy out, but hopefully you are doing so in a more healthy manner. Again, unfortunately some direct that anger into physical exertion against the child in the family.
And then there's also the thought that these people are just evil and there's no hope to rehabilitate them. Sometimes, this can be the issue, but most times the issues can be resolved through heavy counseling and rehabilitation activities. It also requires a little control on the end of the abuser to, because its difficult to rehabilitate someone who doesn't want help.
One thing that is not common is the abuse of an unrelated child or a child who isn't as well known to the abuser. So there's not as many cases relating to the guy who lives on the same street as you, knocking on your door and beating on your children compared to one in which your own father or mother (the child's grandparents) abusing the child.
It appears statistically that the abuse occurs more with fathers and more on male children. But there are many, many cases in which it is actually the mother on either gender child. And also there are many cases involving a grandparent or close aunt or uncle - someone who does see the child often and may be the person often asked to babysit the child. Abuse comes in many different forms - not just physical beatings. There is maltreatment of the child. There is neglect for the child - things like leaving the child alone in a room for hours on end, little human interaction, etc. There are also different levels of abuse.
But one thing's for sure - at any level or at any form their needs to be an intervention and rehabilitation - not just for the abuser, but also for the child.
The problem with child abuse is that is scars a child for life making it hard to deal with certain situations as an adult. It leads to depression, rebellion and can affect their decisions. Many need therapy to help deal with it and have better lives.
Because hitting children/metal abuse is messed up and anyone who does that to a innocent child will mess the child up and is messed up themselves... The people who do this deserve to get killed or thrown in jail for life
