The Hole That You Came Out From Could Be An Abomination That You Never Knew You Know.

I've always believed that all children, regardless of age, should deserved a happy childhood. A childhood without any pains or fear. Maybe it's my own wishful thinking, that all children in this world will/ can spend the most innocent, happiest time of their life like how a child should be. Without worries of getting any form of abuse or family violence.

While all those selfish, mentally unstable adults are adding to the silent sufferings of their children and family members. Many organisations and legal laws had been put up to protect them. I believe that its everybody responsibility to help them to regain confidences in their life. According to the legal definition in my country, cruelty to children or young persons involves acts of maltreatment by an adult, resulting in unnecessary suffering or injury to health or well-being of the victims.

There are several forms of abuse to children or acts of family violences.

Physical Abuse
This includes all behaviors that exert physical force or violent to injure, control or abuse a family member. Examples are slapping, kicking, burning, punching, spanking, choking, grabbing, pinching, scratching, wrestling, biting, restraining, pulling hair, throwing the person bodily,throwing things at the person and using any object or weapon against the person.

Threatening Behavior
This means any intimidating action or spoken threat to inflict hurt upon another through physical, emotional, psychological or sexual violence. It includes threatening coercion and demeaning exchanges that are terrorizing in nature. Examples are: Acting like you will punch, hit, kick, slap, use object or weapons, or anything else to hurt them such as throwing things(victim's belongings) and to make them do things the abuser wants. Verbal threats such as "Now you're going to get it" or "I am going to kill you" or "You see what i will do to you" if she leaves to escape the violence.

Emotional Abuse
This means damaging the other's feelings through name-calling and other hurtful language. Examples are" cursing, swearing, shaming and verbal put downs to denigrate the child or family member's self esteem, calling her "useless, worthless, a burden to the family, stupid" etc.

Psychological Abuse
After the first act of physical violence, all threat and emotional abuse become psychological abuse because the victim already feels scared and does not know when the violence will stop. This includes "mind game" intimidation and attacks aimed at creating fear and causing confusion in the victim. Examples are: repeated harassment, interrogations, criticisms, insults directed at the victim's family or friends. Limiting her use of the phone, seeing friends, leaving the house or room, stalking and checking on her every movement, following her around. Blaming her for every mistake the abuser makes, and forcing her into degrading acts such as eating faeces, forcing her to kneel and beg for forgiveness. Treating her like a servant, a sex object or someone with no rights, excluding her from major decisions, controlling her through the use of money or any other means. The abuser threatens to kill him/herself or engages in other dangerous or reckless situation such as reckless driving, excessive alcohol intake or inflicting injuries to own self to scare and intimidate her.

Sexual Abuse
This is any unwanted or disrespectful sexual touch. Any non-consenting sexual act or behavior, i.e. not fully agreed to by bother partners. Example are: Forcing sexual activity when she/ he says no or she/ he is too afraid to say no. Physical attacking parts of her/ his body and demanding or forcing to perform sexual behaviours she/ he does not want to. (e.g. "staged" fantasy rapes, anal intercourse or oral sex, etc.)

I am glad that the laws in my country protects children and practice people's right. But how many of the victims will stand up and ask for help? How many of them are willing to point a finger at their parents for their abusive behaviors? Please do not wait for tragic to happen, prevention is always better than cure. Please lend a helping hand to those in need.
For the abusers, one day everything will turn one big fucking round and slap you right in your face. Prepare to face the consequences for your actions.
I wrote this entry with a heavy feeling in my heart and my heart goes out to those who are suffering in silence. May Satan Be With You.

Ave Satanas! Hail Satan!
