Stories Of Child Abuse Survivors

By Lucille Lamb


Stories of child abuse survivors keep on coming to the surface. More recently, there have been a lot of other reports of kids who have survived horrific experiences and this has carried on into their teenage years. These children have to have a lot of therapy and counseling in order to carry on with their lives in the best way possible.

In saying that, this is something that you can't be neurotic about because you still have to let your child have some freedom. It just means that you can't leave your child alone for too long because he or she will be snatched at any point. This is a logical point that one must remember. Small kids have been kidnapped in this way.

However, it is not just kidnappings that come to light, because there are also other stories that involve other people. Children tell of how they have been abused by family members or by people at school. This does not involve anyone kidnapping them. This often happens because these people have some sort of problem.

The abuser could be mentally unstable or they could be a bully. This will depend on the severity of the abuse. Some of these people are just obsessed. Some of the bullying happens over the internet, so it does not have to be physical. One does not think this is a problem, but it can be a big problem.

There are different ways in which someone is abused. They can be physically abused or they can be sexually abused. They can also be verbally abused and this is also something which has to be worked through. Not many people think that this is a problem which is as great, but it can certainly ruin your self esteem and it is something that you really need to be aware of. It may be difficult to get back on track after this happens.

Parents have also been known to abuse kids and this can have a big emotional effect on them. It can take a toll right up into their adult lives. There is not much that they can do when they are kids, because they are sworn to secrecy. It is not always that the father is mentally unwell, but they are often obsessed.

There have also been a lot of reports of parents abusing their children. This often happens between fathers and daughters and nobody knows about this because they will also threaten the child. It is only later that the truth comes out. This is difficult for the person to forget about and they often have problems in their lives.

Stories of child abuse survivors never stop coming to light, but hopefully with more media coverage as well as those speaking up, one can do something about this. The statistics have definitely improved from what they were because people are letting others know about these problems. This is very important for both the victim as well as the public because people need to be aware of the situation.
