Child abuse

Child abuse is a very strong topic. Most kids aren’t really abused but theirs a lot others that are. They are beaten half to death. There are many ways for a child to be abused. There is sexual, physical, or emotional mistreatment abuse. If I had to guess how many kids get abused it would have to be more than 50% of all the kids that live in the world get abused.
            Every year in the United States there are 3.3 million reports of children being abused. According to childhelp.com every 10 seconds a report is being made for child abuse. More than 5 children die a day because of child abuse. 8% of kids are sexually abused, 78% of kids are rejected from their own parents. We need to stop all the child abuse.
            ‘’In 2008, one out of every 601.4 children were victims of physical abuse, with parents of victims accounting for almost 80.1% of abusers.’’(Child abuse facts)  this happens all over the world. We need to stop all the child abuse of our era. Many people say that our generation is all “fucked up” but it’s not our generation is the people that raise them. Don’t get me wrong some adults are great parents but then theirs others that shouldn’t have kids, because they are not responsible. For example some buy beer or drugs and spend all their money on that instead of buying food or other necessary stuff.
            “For every incident of child abuse or neglect that gets reported, it’s estimated that two others go unreported.”(Child abuse facts) if the kids that are being abused won’t report then who will? We need to step up and speak for those who cant. Many children are beaten and are even killed because no one helps them, we need to help kids that need help not only kids but also women and men that are either beaten or are abused in other ways.
