Most of the children are abseud at home. by their own relative, sometimes by a parent or siblings. I have also heard cases, where the father abuses the daughter, and mother just ignores it, as it gives her free time. where will the child go for any help? children are conditioned to go to their parents for emotional support. so, the keep going to their father or mother and want to please them as that is what they are told to do. parents telling children to respect elders. Do what they tell. You have to please them in order to get recogonition/acceptance .. this is the basic reason why children do not report that they are being abseud. in fact they don’t even know they are being abseud. they only believe that they are still not being able to please his/her abuser. They think it is their fault and blame themselves for it. Good movie suggestion:  The Woodsman . If you haven’t seen it before, it is a must-see movie.

Domestic violence exacts a high price on its victims, families, communities, and society. Each of us can and should play an important part in a community response to domestic violence by taking action when we learn about abusive behaviors. This vid is a great way to to evoke healthy reponses and reactions. We can work together to identify, report and prevent this terrible problem.
