Persuasive Essay On Child Abuse

Society understands our current system is awful, but no one is protesting for a reform, or they’re aren’t trying hard enough. Child safety is the number one objective of the system, but it’s not working like it should. “In 2015, over 670,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care” (Foster Care). Of those 670,000 cases, more than half could be eliminated with a reform in the system. The focus should be on keeping families together, rather than taking them apart.

When people hear the words “child poverty” some assume that this term may refer to homeless children who are living on the streets. This isn’t necessarily true, in fact some children who go to bed every night with a roof above their head still suffer from some form poverty. According to National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), 21% of children throughout the United States live in families who are considered poor. It is crucial for society to be more aware of this issue and to take part in contributing to help reduce child poverty within our country.

Everyday children under the age of 18 are maltreated. One out of eight children throughout the U.S suffers from either physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Unfortunately, emotional abuse is not even considered a maltreatment when people think of child abuse. When people think of child abuse the first thing they think about is physical or sexual. Now do not get me wrong, any abuse a child receives is a horrible inhuman like thing because every child is innocent and deserves to live the best life they possibly can live. Although, if we are being quite honest with ourselves nobody really notices this happens until it is mentioned later on when the child gets older. Which I do not blame anyone for because a child does not recall if something is good or bad until they have the ability to be aware of their environment.This is due to the fact that child abuse can start occurring at such an early age. This happens most during the development stage of the child because when a child is young it starts to absorb everything it sees and hears based on their surroundings. Basically, when they start noticing the difference from good or bad. The problem in this situation is that there is a high percentage rate of the youth who are diagnosed with mental disorders and are not being helped properly because most of the time the adults around them do not know how to help. The solution to this problem is simple, we should bring awareness to the main people in the child's life: their

Ponder this; you are a parent with only a seven year old child. Your child continues to perform an act that you told them to stop doing, because they have already done it three times before. You have had enough and decided to discipline your child in a way different from a stern discussion. You decide to spank your child. Would you consider the spanking a form of child discipline, or would you consider it child abuse? Are you expecting your child to learn from this disciplinary action, or are you spanking your child because you enjoy knowing that you are in control and that you quite possibly may be injuring your child?

The right to have children is understood in very different ways and people’s ethics and values are put to the test each and everyday when they find out they not only must take care of themselves but the lives of another human being. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted this statement regarding the right to bear children “men and women of full age, without any limitations to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and found a family”[1]. This concept has been viewed in multiple ways and according to ethical theorists; they agree that no rights are absolute. However, it is said that for women at least, there is a fundamental privilege to have children. The right to

There are many women that are unable to provide for a child’s needs or are not in the right state of mind to be able to raise a child. Many of those women either put the kids

Wanting to be a parent and having children one day proves a likely inheritable natural instinct to humans. Growing up, little girls play with baby dolls acting as a mother to their doll “babies.” Seeing babies in pubic makes people want to have one of his or her own baby. Centuries ago, if someone could not conceive or bear a child, he or she had no choice other than to remain childless. Fortunately, in the late 1900’s, scientists discovered a way for people to have children with an individual’s own genetics; however, the biological parent does not need to carry or give birth to the baby. Surrogacy allows a person to transfer an

Imagine being a child who is afraid of their own parents or legal guardians. Imagine being a child who has to live with the fear of getting harmed physically or mentally every single day of their life. Imagine being a child who doesn’t even safe in their very own home. This is how a children feel when they’re put into a abusive atmosphere. We truly cannot understand someone’s pain until we are the ones experiencing that very same pain. Can you even imagine being abused by love ones? What would you do? Would you keep your mouth shut in fear or stand up up for what is right? Child abuse needs to stop now. “If not now, when.” No child should have to go through an emotional rollercoaster at such a young age. “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

Children are vulnerable, innocent, and unable to defend themselves. The United National Children's Fund, UNICEF, is a children’s charity. The UNICEF on the advertisement states that “8 million children are not in school” which is a large number of children that are not attending school. UNICEF is achieving their goals because it demonstrates people that many children in the world are not in school. Ethos, pathos, and logos are all necessary for a good advertisement, and this is an example of that. People know that when they see this ad, children need to attend school because it is essential. Food, shelter, clothing, and shoes are also necessary for life especially for children that live in developing countries and this ad is also representing this. Unfortunately, this problem exists in countries where poverty exists and is represented by this picture. The purpose of this advertisement is to convince people that without their help the organization would not be able to provide funds to the children to attend school in their countries.

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, but the easiest to get. Maybe we?re receiving a little too much freedom in our lives and taking advantage of it. After all, 10,000 kids die every day from starvation in the United States. Perhaps some regulations on being a parent and having children would be best for adults and children both (Istvan). Today I am going to be explaining to you why we should need a license in order to parent. With thousands of kids dying each and every day, you would think that something like this would have been considered a long time ago.

When a country is different in United States and Japan, almost all culture, language, law and population are different. The difference in only this sexual crime rates becomes clear by a country's being different. Japanese researcher said “every year, the crime rate is decreasing gradually, but it's impossible that all sex crime disappears. It's because we don't know when and where sex crime has occurred. In where of a body it's at born time, an IC chip, we're embedded, and should be able to stop sex crime, an innocent person can't do such thing. The person is never supposed to do a crime as well as sex crime. Sex crime is done, and there is a person who benefits no one. Because everyone has a chance equally, the human isn't supposed to do to

Imagine you are a young girl and your dad never stops hitting you mom, when you try to help her he hits you too, one day you hear sirens and see the man who hurt you flung to the ground handcuffed and your mom is screaming and crying because even though she should not she still loves him. All you can thing is run, run and never look back. So, you run but the man dressed in the nice suit catches you and tells you to pack your things. They put you in a car with your trash bag of things, but rip your baby brother from your arms, the brother who you care for his every need and loved more than anything is now crying out in fear. You are continually abused and harmed by foster parents for acting out because you do not understand what is happening,

     If children have the right to do anything, it would be to begin life with a mother and father. Death, divorce, abandonment, – any one of these takes away the existence of a mother or father in a child‘s life. But only same-sex marriage would confirm that children are deprived from birth of either a mother or a father. Now a days, many same-sex advocates are arguing that children do not do better with a mother and a father.

“Early one morning in 2013, this fourteen-year-old from Indiana purposely hanged herself from a tree in front of her school bus stop so that her tormentors would see her lifeless swinging corpse. She had allegedly been repeatedly mocked as a ‘slut’ and a ‘whore,’ as well as enduring relentless teasing over the fact that her father had been jailed for hitting her” (Goad). Bullying has been a major problem in our society. The power of bullying can ruin someone’s life. Nothing good can ever come from bullying no matter how it happens. Bullying has been around for a long time, and it must come to an end. Bullying should be stopped because of the terrible and heartbreaking outcomes.

According to, The National Research Center for Permanency and Family Connections, “A number of studies published over the past two decades have found high rates of homelessness among former foster youth who aged out of care” (1). The Covenant House who provides open doors to troubled children and youth stated that, “23,000-27,000 youth age out of foster care every year” (1). Large numbers of foster youth are becoming homeless because of insufficient foster homes and group homes, unprepared foster parents who take in many foster kids, and foster parents not providing adequately.
