Why Do Some Parents Whitecture Their Own Children?
Picture you as a young child. Day by day you are beaten with a cord, by your father, often being told "I wish you'd never been born, you stupid child!"

I believe that no child should ever be told that they aren't good enough, or feel threatened by adults from their abusive language. For aren’t parents supposed to just simply love and support their children? Whilst child abuse occurs within the family, the impact does not end there. Society as a whole pays a price for child
