CHILD ABUSE IS THE RESOURCE THAT SOME PARENTS HAVE TO GET RID OF THEIR WORK STRESS

The Reina Sofía de Córdoba Hospital started its 14th Child-Youth Integral Care Conference yesterday. With a duration of three days, topics such as child abuse, childhood and adolescent obesity, the role of parents or the rights of the child, among others, will be addressed. But yesterday the program began with a conference on the prevention of child abuse, where Dr. Pérez Navero states that Only 20% of cases of child abuse are known.

According to the statistics of the Spanish Society of Pediatrics and Primary Assistance, in Spain about 2,500 cases of child abuse are known each year, we do not even want to imagine the number of children who are suffering, who are unaware that they can report and that adults who Surround allow. A serious problem is that children who suffer abuse generally become abusers and do not necessarily occur in less favored families, according to Pérez Navero, more and more cases occur in families with high socioeconomic status, suffering mostly from psychological harassment or emotional on the part of the parents. This abuse is more difficult to detect and is usually accompanied by aggressiveness, children who suffer from it are prone to suffer anxiety crisis, sleep disturbances, school failure, alcoholism ...

It seems that Child abuse is the resource that some parents have to get rid of their work stressWe remember the recent case of the Bilbao executive who killed his two-year-old daughter with blows.

It is true that there are many adults who do not understand that children are children and cannot behave otherwise. There are many adults for whom the main thing they and their work are, leaving aside the choice they once had to be a father / mother, neglecting the responsibility that entails and treating their children as rivals. This behavior, without a doubt, leads to a failure in the family relationship and child abuse.
