What would happen if a child was abused by a parent?

Nitara

then you need to tell some one not sit there like a bump on a log

Hopefully someone reports it to the local Child welfare facility, so they can investigate the family.

Pat

If you know this you should report it!

Nikki

Report them to the police. It's not a joke.

Linnie

Well,
It is against the law so......
anything against the law should be reported but you need proof...

Jill Michelle

then someone, even the child needs to get a hold of the police or the local child protective services and get the parent seperated from the child so the chilc can be in a more healthy enviroment! and away from abuse

*La~di~Da*

someone would eventually see that the child is being abused and child services would be called and the child would be taken away

It depends on what the situation is, some children think that they are abused when they are merely being disciplined. Report the incident to the police or to child protective services and they will investigate.

depends on what they did and what country they live in but will be punished by most laws anywhere you should report it if not if you are the abuser than shame on you and yours will come in time

let the child sue his/her parents... that simple!

alice

the child will grow up to be submissive and afriad of everything and usually end up snapping when he/she gets angry be very possive jealous and unless the know how to keep there anger down they wont be able to hold back which will unleash some sort of beast...the only way for your child or for that child to feel any better is to defeat the one that caused if soo much pain like i did with my father.....

They would do the same to their kids and so on, and so on. Also they can develop phsycological problems.

it would suffer...?

ironlipz

the child will grow up with violence, and in future the child will also think that violence/abuse is the only way to solve problems.i have a living example just next door.

i agree with the vague thing...
it would depend on how bad it is.
or how the situation is

but in almost ALL cases you should
report it.
ASAP!

Not neccesarly Maria,we have reported out right abuse and neglect of very small chidren,Social services made a few visits and determined the children were safe and the parents were heroine addicts, plus we reported it more then once and were told to mind our own buisness and let us the authorities take care of it.
In some cases I am not against vigal anti justice. What I would suggest is find the biggest dude you know go knock down the parents door ruff them up a little to see how they like it and threaten more of the same if anyone hits their child again,from what I have seen of our justice system here in the midwest that type of mentality would be more affective. If you are the one being abused report it to the authorities ASAP and find a safe place and insist on help!!! Good luck!!

They would get taken away if the authorities did the right thing that is which doesn't happen very often anymore and they would be placed in foster care or with a better guardian. HOPEFULLY the parent would be put in jail. Why are you asking this if you don't mind my asking?? I hope no one is abusing an innocent child.

kevin b

if the child was being physicaly abused then call the cops

Miranda

if someone was aware of this abuse the child would be sent to childrens aid services or something like it and the parent would be in question by the police, social workers ect... If it was concluded that the child was in fact being abused, they would either be placed in the care or a close relative, or be put into foster care. The parents would go through therapy to help them to not abuse their child, but a term in prison is also very common, and often synonomous with this type of rehabilitation

geminiwalker

First of all, the child would wonder what they did wrong, and how they could fix it. They would come to believe that their parent didn't love them, and in time, that nobody loved them and nobody could be trusted. They would grow up unable to make friends and connect to anyone, unless at least one adult came along (in a supportive way) to make that difference.

Abused children are far more vulnerable to exploitive adults than non-abused children, so that is a likelihood as well - that they would be abused again, by someone else, and probably more than once.

They would grow up angry, bitter, defiant, and probably anti-social.

The only way to stop this is to stop the abuse - not just by the parent, but by anyone else who has access to that child.

you call the cops..

HUSSLA

You get raped in jail

This is so extremely vague you are just wasting people's time.
