The research I've read recently, indicates more abuse occurs in
the poorer sections of town. Common sense says, folks with less
money cannot pay to occupy their leisure time. And hence wouldn't have as much recreation to think about and contemplate
in their mind. My experience has been that abuse spans all classes and I have to agree with Ellemm, plenty of females
mistreat their children. Personally, I am a product of 4 generations of abuse. My bio family were poor folks. But those who abused me during my childhood were from the higher end of
middle class. That's why I contend all classes participate in
the abusiveness factor!
