Potential Triggers of Abuse by Adam Whittington
o Poverty and therefore the immediate needs
of an oversized family can drive someone to
desperation. It finds expression in physical or
verbal abuse. Harassed mothers have been known
to kill their children and so kill.

o Hormonal fluctuations in pre- menstrual,
postnatal, or peri- menopausal years cause
unpredictable mood swings in women, sometimes
resulting in abuse of kids. o Drunken or
drug-addicted parents are easily provoked.

o Drunken or drug-addicted parents are easily
provoked. o Abnormal babies or those with
disabilities are subjected to abuse by both
parents and also the general public. o Sex
crime within the house could be a disturbing
reality. The infamous case of Josef Fritzl who
imprisoned his daughter for years and sexually
abused her remains fresh in our minds.

Reasons why parents abuse their children -
Immaturity, unwanted pregnancies, and single
motherhood. - Lack of parenting skills and
ignorance about the requirements of a developing
child and inability to cope. - Judging children
by adult standards.

• Overburdened mothers with home, husband, family,
  and kids
• to worry for.
• Financial problems, illness, insecurity.
• Conflict between parents.
• Poor childhood experiences.
• Abuse may be a vicious circle. What the person
  experiences in childhood is replicated in his
  family. in a very survey of prison mates, 37
  women and 14 of men said they were abused in
  childhood.

Methods of assorted types of abuse Physical
Abuse might cause bruises, head injuries,
fractured bones. Sometimes there could be no
external signs and fogeys might not even
recognize internal bleeding. - Poisoning may be
a well-known style of abuse. Baby sitters and
harassed mothers sedate irritable babies with
opium or other drugs. Excessive salt within the
food can cause drowsiness or perhaps convulsions,
which the caregiver might not understand how to
handle

Smothering with a pillow or stuffing a child's
mouth with a cloth, or putting a bag over the
top, are ways of quietening a baby. - Corporal
punishments in class while it's against the law,
tonsuring the top, blackening the face, are
methods employed by teachers. - Mutilation of
youngsters for purposes of begging, by
kidnappers. this can be the business sector and
is go past syndicates in India, or the Gypsy
mafia in Europe. Children are sold to Arabs for
racing or to pimps for prostitution.

are put to long hours of labor in sweatshops,
factories, hotels, or construction sites.
