What do you think about child abuse ?

As far as my opinion goes, I think it’s terrible. This is one of those controversial topics that I feel strongly about because it hits close to home for me on a personal level. No parent should have any excuse to hit their child in a negative manner, or in any manner at all really. Child abuse is emotionally, physically, and spiritually damaging to that child, and they’ll be traumatized for the rest of their lives. It’s something that you would think would be so simple to avoid but it still happens virtually everywhere, and it’s sickening.

What is your more general attitude towards the issue?
