What would you consider child abuse? When has a parent or friend taken things too far? Different people view child abuse diffrently such as physical, emotional, and sexual. Spanking a child with a belt or hand--is that abuse? Cursing and screaming--is that abuse? Hugging and kissing--is that abuse?
Thanks for your help!

Child abuse is literally beating your kid to blood is shown, bruises are purple or eyes are completely shut. Giving your child a whooping is not abuse. That's what they needed. Acting up is not the way a child should be even though everyone knows kids will be kids. Giving a child a whooping is teaching them as a parent that the action the did was not acceptable. They're not trying to scare them, they are just showing them the right way in life. Now I do believe that a whooping is not necessary for EVERY punishment, that's when you should sit your kids down and talk to them about their actions, you know... parent to child. Not giving your child a whooping or raising your voice to show them where your coming from at all is telling your child,"Its not okay to do some things, but I won't get in major trouble for it." No, that's not right. But after the mistake is taking care of, showing your child that you did what you did was because you actually care and did it for there own good. It's not abuse at all. It's just a part of growing up.

I think children needs love and understanding,when they have done wrong.They need to be told what they have done wrong.If this is something you have already talked to them about,maybe a spanking is in order.The parent can't do it out of anger,just to let the child know you mean bussiness.The spanking can't be to the point where they need doctor's care.I don't think this is child abuse. Some parents forget they used to be a child and made some of the same mistakes.
I have four children and I must say that child abuse is seen in many different ways depending on who you talk to. Personally I don't think whooping a child is the answer.We can see the same child getting whoppings all the time for the same things.You can get their attention other ways besides whopping them.I'll be honest,my look usually gets them in place,I even raise my voice at times, but I would much rather do this, than whop them all the time.That may sound artifical but that's my reality.

I agree wit Iesha, its not abuse unless the child is beaten half to death, bleeding,or bruised. If none of these are the case its not abuse. Although their are other ways of disciplineing a child giving a child whooping isn't wrong. It just depends on how often you whoop your child(there is a such thing as too many whoopings lol). If you whoop a child for something and he/she continues to do it, then clearly the whoopins ain't workin! They bad a*! prolly used to da shit whoopins ain't nun 2 em. Just a thought.

I believe that spanking a child is not abuse when it is one swat on the behind when they are not listening an may possibly run into a dangerous situation. However, I do believe that slapping, using fists, and verbally yelling is abuse.

Child abuse is beating the shit out of your kid, most of the time it is for no apparent reason. What did the child do that you feel you need to beat them. i find no problem in disciplining your child, but beating is sensless. if you beat your child, someone should beat the shit out of you
i thiunk a belt ar o good hit with the hand is ok for a older child it teaches them a lesson
child abuse is anything that leaves physical scars and scars your child emotionally for life. a belt whooping, those will go away over time. any fist's is abuse, sexual abuse i will get into breifly. when it comes to sexual abuse there is one stat you need to know to get you to see things my way. 97% of rapists/ child molestors are not able to be rehabilitated. we don't need these kind of people in our world and they should be sentenced to death. it is just sick wrong and there is no excuse for it, these people need to be condemed for what they have done.

it is abuse when you over excessively do something to a child. there is a difference between discipline and abuse.

I think child abuse is obsurde if you are strong enough to beat your child you should be able to stand out and get beaten by somebody your own size. but corpral punishment is a good idea i think i was spanked and whipped with a belt and plastic spoons when i was little and if i wasen then i would not be as respectable as i am now.

YES CHILD ABUSE CAN COME IN HANDY FOR SOME KIDS, BECAUSE SOME KIDS ARE VERY DISOBEDIENT AND FOUL AND SOMETIMES THEY NEED 2 BE ABUSE FOR THE TIME BEING. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR YOU AND THE CHILD IN THE LONG RUN.

i truely dont think any child should be hurt or abussed but some people get disaplend an abuse mixed up. when a chiled is wrong they should be punished and if you go to far and start abusing them like hitting them for no reason then that is abuse.

I have never been abused by anyone but I know people who have. I think we all do. It’s too common and that’s sad. Child abuse is when a parent or actually anyone takes things too far. Too far is hitting them too much, too often, or too hard. Verbal abuse is common too. Yelling awful things at children and making fun of them can really damage them. When you are young you are more sensitive. Spanking children is not abuse. Some need it, bad. You shouldn’t curse at your kids, it’s unnecessary. And of course hugging and kissing is not abuse.
