Read About Child Abuse Survivor Stories

By Corinne Daniel


There are a lot of child abuse survivor stories from different people. There are so many accounts these days, that it becomes hard to keep track of all the incidents that occur. The problem with children being abused is that they do not know that they could report it. Since they have no sense of authority over anyone, these incidents happen just about everyday, unnoticed by the people around children.

There is an average of five kids who die everyday due to this cause. It is a sad realization that kids die every day unnoticed just because of society's low awareness to this pressing issue. This is called a hidden epidemic. Several people refuse to accept the fact that it happens every single day, in every country. Some people have subjected themselves to giving up on this cause.

Neglect and corruption knows no bounds. It happens across every social and cultural line. It occurs in all educational levels, across all ages. No matter how affluent and rich the child's family is, he is still vulnerable to those who are surrounding him. The child doesn't know any better, that is why they are always susceptible to so much corruption.

The USA interestingly has the highest rate of abuse towards children. There are more than the usually five reports that are made daily due to this cause. It happens more commonly in children who are under the young age of four. Children are more vulnerable at this age mainly because of their innocence and lack of ability to defend themselves. They do not know that they could report this type of neglect, nor do they know that they are already being corrupted because these kids do not know any better at such a low age.

A lot of these incidents are also due to sexual abuses. It is interesting and horrifying to find that almost ninety per cent of the children who are sexually abused know their perpetrator in a personal way. It is more common for a kid to be abused by someone they know than they are to be abused by a complete stranger.

A lot of kids who have been sexually abused are likely to get pregnant at a very early age. These kids usually bear child in their preteens and teen years. Because of their corrupted sexual experience, they may hold no importance to practicing safe sex, which makes them a lot more vulnerable to having sexually transmitted diseases.

A lot of corruption towards children happen every day, and there are different types that people should be aware of. There is the physical abuse, where the kid is intentionally hurt physically by hitting, strangling, burning, etc. This causes a lot of physical and emotional pain and suffering for the child. There is also psychological negligence where the kid is punished and scolded, leaving them in an embarrassing or humiliating state.

There is also a type called negligence, where the kid's needs are not met. The kid is not provided with safety, shelter, protection, affection, and food. A lot of people may survive their abused childhood years into a stronger and wiser person. Hear out their child abuse survivor stories and help raise awareness in your community.
