In the video, the mother and her young daughter were spotted quarreling. Then, the mother slapped her and started to hit her many times with a slipper. The mother seemed to have stopped at one point as she scolds her child. But the spanking and beating started again as the child talks back at her. The child even return hits to her mother as well.
The numbers of child abuse have increased in the recent years (American Humane Association, n.d.). Moreover, discipline becomes child abuse if discipline will become physical maltreatment or a daily emotional problem of a child (Oxford Dictionaries, n.d.). Nonetheless, some of the people are still realizing that discipline is a good way while educating their child, but they have never thought that discipline also will become child abuse and affect their children’s future.

Scientists are discovering that early experiences can have profound long-term effects on the biological systems that govern responses to stress. If these systems lack the environment required for normal development, they may fail to function as evolution designed them. Effects on the maturing brain can be subtle as well as obvious. Disturbances at a critical time early in life may exert a disproportionate influence, creating the conditions for childhood and adult depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic

This can have an impact on all three parties involved; the child/children, the adoptive parent and the biological parents. Post adoption contact is slowly occurring more in this situation.

Think of a seven year old child walking into a classroom. Normally a pretty happy student, he participates in the classroom and focuses on his work. But, on this day the child comes in very moody, unhappy, doesn't really want to do anything, and seems hurt by something. The teacher asks the child what is wrong but the child gives no reply. Thinking that he may be sick the teacher takes the student to the nurse. While the nurse examines the child she lifts up his shirt to find red marks and purple
Children who experience sexual abuse continue to be associated with adult sexual behavior, but the difference in the effects of the type of sexual abuse and of force on the sexual behavior outcomes have had few studies. The purpose of the study conducted by Theresa E. Senn and her team was to connect sexual abuse characteristics to later sexual risk behaviors, as well as, exploring whether or not the gender of the child lessened the relations (Senn,2010). The sample of the study was derived from
