Child abuse is when a child or children are neglected by their loved ones. For example, in the Caribbean most parents abuse their children by beating them. Some abuse their children by having them use their bodies. This has led to a situation where we have “street children”, as children move to the streets in an   effort to avoid bad treatment at home.

                                                   Why is abuse wrong?

Abuse is wrong because parents should show they children more love and respect so that they will grow up to be a better person in society.

 If a parent does not show the children respect they will end up bad in life. They can end up doing the same thing to their child.

Children, you can stop abuse by telling your teacher or someone you trust and who can help you.
