Child Abuse



I think there are many effects of violence on the American culture. I believe the major one is child abuse. I feel this also affects the behavior of children every day. Ishmael Beah gets tied up naked to be tortured. No one can trust him so they are always using violence as a result. After the war, these ways continued which hurts the American culture. Ishmael Beah has no choice and neither do kids now days that are getting abused. This usually makes kids more willing to be violent. This effects their school work, friendships, and daily life. In some cases, can even result in death.

  2. it is crazy that over 5 kids are killed per day due to child abuse. I can't believe that there isn't better help to prevent these deaths from happening. I truly didn't know that child abuse was this bad now.

  3. i think it is unbelievable the increase in amount of deaths due to child abuse in the past 12 years. this is bad because it can affect how they do in school which in turn affects their whole lives.
