When I was a CASA (court appointed special advocate) the cases of child abuse were more likely female single parents. But I don't know what the reports are of studies of what gender is most likely to abuse a child. And then what about same sex couples raising children... are males more likely to abuse a child, or is a 2 female parents with child more likely? Jabber, I'm sorry to hear about the perpetuation of abuse from generation to generation, and that you personally are a victim (survivor?) of child abuse. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

As far as spanking goes, I am adamantly opposed to it. It doesn't teach the child anything; and I wonder how many parents can wait to spank after NOT being angry with the child. Not likely. A time out is appropriate. I know the results of being physically abused; it creates anger, resentment and fear.

Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	Alice you said about spanking It doesn't teach the child anything; it may teach the child how to spank..and perpetuate the habit. I worked one school for a short time on secondment..there was a little girl from a home where we knew frequent smacking was the norm..she grew fond of me and her way of expressing herself was to say.."Mrs T.I'm not going to smack you" These "At risk" pupils soaked up kindness and we all found ourself working toward enriching their lives..pitiful that the homelife was less than kind.since then directives from E.U. in the UK meanS its a crime to smack heaviliy...resonable chastisment is a small tap on the leg.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	MA, we have nanny cameras so folks can see what their nannies are up to while watching the kids. Of course, the nanny doesn't know ahead of time. Sad that people have to go to such great lengths, but I might do the same. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Madelaine Registered: 04/22/09 Posts: 215 Loc: Pacific Northwest	Stepfathers are more likely to abuse children than fathers, but fathers do it too. Perps don't bribe people to get out of jailtime, if they have money, they can pay for good lawyers. A good lawyer can make a big difference in a trial! so if the Perp is a rich man, he's got a much better chance of getting off easy than someone without money. IT's the same story with divorce; a rich man can really give his wife the treatment if she doesn't get a good lawyer and he does. _________________________ http://mimitabby.com/blog - my art blog

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	That's why I think cameras are valuable deterrents. I wish I had caught on to what was happening to my friend. I wish I had installed a hidden camera somewhere and a tape recorder, too. But you know what they say about, should've, would've and could've: They're useless!
