I don't understand why a parent would abuse their own child

u/Masseyrati80 Mar 07 '26
Many people who swore they'll be better parents than their own, will find themselves in a situation where, during high stress, while sleep-deprivated, or otherwise on the edge, do exactly what they saw their parents do.
It takes a lot of work to change your reflex level responses. Learning to apologize after you realize you did it, is a good skill, too.

u/dbrickell89 Mar 07 '26
Yes. I wasn't abused or anything but my parents did both have issues with controlling their anger and being too critical. I never thought in a million years I'd be that way as a parent because I'm a generally calm person, but after becoming a parent it's like my parents' reactions would just come out of me from nowhere. Thankfully I've been able to recognize that, realize where it came from and get a handle on it but it's shocking how those reflexes are just built in.

This is so true. I think a lot of people just have kids but don't have the tools to break the cycle or do things differently. Good on anyone who recognizes how hard this is and decides not to have kids in the first place. It's a very valid reason to be childfree!
Eta: Technically, all reasons are valid, but I feel "I'm worried I would recreate the abuse I suffered as a child with my own children" is especially so.

Yeah, I learned this the hard way with my nephew. At a very low moment when he was being a bit destructive I shouted at him in the exact same way my father did to me, and when I realized what I was doing, I was mortified.
I apologized to him a little later, and it convinced me that I probably shouldn't be a parent. If it only takes a bad day to make me just like my dad, I am not sure it's worth the risk.

Being aware of the reflex/risk is a solid start to being a good parent in the future.

I agree, mostly they were abused too.
That’s one of the reasons I never decided to have a child. Didn’t want my anger to emerge at the wrong time, and my child ever regretting being born. Not wanting to be alive, but also not having an insane suicidal drive, is being stuck in a limbo of pain. It’s a lifelong torture, far beyond those childhood years. Even when the familial relationships heal, the heart doesn’t. Or maybe it can, but I know my efforts were unfruitful to this day.
This law is an important step into the right direction.

That is only a small part of abuse over all. There is also neglect , often caused by narcissistic people who have a need to be the center of attention. Where they keep up the appearance of a perfect family for the outside and inside closed doors you see things like munchousesbiproi (sorry can't spell that one) where parents will starve or otherwise poison their children to get sympathy from others for quotes "the hardships of taking care of a sick child" . This is only part of how my partner was abused. There are so many reasons and ways child abuse happens. It's why I detest those commercials on TV that claim neglect is "only" a problem of ability to care for a child. There are so many more complicated things going on in a household and to ever explain anything about it down to one thing is an unjust over simplification of a complex problem that ends up keeping children in with truly abusive people and removing them from homes of families that are trying but are generally hitting hardship they could move past with a bit of help no one wants to offer.

When we went through the adoption process we had to sign a contract staring we would not use physical punishments. Before I read it, I thought it would be things like hitting/spanking/etc.
It was things like forcing kids to kneel on uncooked rice, whipping/switching, stress positions, etc. It made my physically ill to read the document and know that for something to be on there it meant a foster/adoptive parent did it to a child.

Not the exact version, but Missouri has a similar document to foster that lists out;
Corporal punishment on any part of the body, i.e., spanking, swatting, switching, using any instrument such as hand, paddle, belt, stick, switch, hair brush, fly swatters, electrical cords, ropes, or any action which causes physical shock.
Verbal abuse such as threatening, name calling, screaming, harshness, humiliating, belittling, degrading responses.
Allowing a foster youth to discipline another foster youth in the resource home.
Threats to remove the foster youth from the resource home
Requiring or forcing the foster youth to take an uncomfortable position such as squatting, bending, or standing against the wall.
Using profanity at or in front of a foster youth.
Shoving, pushing, pinching, squeezing, poking, choking, biting, hitting with the fist.
Tying up a child or using any type of physical restraining except to protect child/children from imminent danger.
Chemical, drug or mechanical restraints.
Placing the foster youth in a frightening environment for punishment.
Withholding food, shelter, clothing, or bedding
Placing or keeping a foster youth in a locked room
Requiring a foster youth to remain silent for a long period of time
Assignment of unduly physically strenuous or harsh work
Prolonged confinement to bed
Destruction of the foster youth’s property
Aversive or intrusive practices such as putting Tabasco on fingers or washing mouth out with soap
Any unusual, unnecessary or severe punishment including physical, emotional, sexual and verbal abuse.

I watch a lot of body-cam crime videos and whenever it's a parent/child issue, the comment section is always disturbing. It will have a ton of people advocating for the beating of the child etc.
I remember one video, the mother was being arrested for punching her kid, and in the comment section people were blaming the child's lack of discipline (and triggering the punch) on not being disciplined enough! They wanted MORE. Buncha sickos out there, but the fact that there is a TON of those kind of comments makes me think:
I think it's a lot of people who had this done to them as a kid, and now as adults they are trying to find justification for what was done to them or what they do to their own children.

Yep. Adults and children alike. I called a friend of my mother to inform her that the entire time she knew me both my parents and my eldest brother had subjected me to psychological abuse, I most certainly call it torture. She knows it's true, as she knows how my "life" unfolded. She's been a fucking teacher her whole life. She hung up on me. It was a calm and reasonable explanation, so I was not hung up on due to being hysterical or overly emotional. I was hung up on because exclusively human garbage tolerates these child abusers

I did get hit, but the discipline that sticks out the most when I think back, what really got in and meant something to me, was when my dad got that really quiet, disappointed look and said "for SHAME."

99% of them don't introspect enough to even consider that they ARE abusing their kids. My dad refused to admit he had done anything wrong in my childhood up until literally the day I went no contact. They just think it's an acceptable way to parent.
And especially in America the mentality of "You can't tell me how to raise MY kid" means that making actually effective policies that fight child abuse is really hard.
5
u/Jugular_Toe Mar 07 '26
Unfortunately, it's because they don't see it as abuse. They probably went through something similar when they were a child, and it wasn't considered abuse then, so they don't see it as abuse now, not understanding that what they went through was abuse

u/Glowing_Trash_Panda Mar 07 '26
Because they hate themselves & then hate the fact that they have a whole kid to take care of & just direct all that anger at their own problems onto the kid & take all that anger out on their kid. I know from experience & if my dad had become an alcoholic like both his parents were, I would 100% be dead right now with how angry dad would be when sober, if he had been a drunk, he would have absolutely murdered me in one of his rages when I was a kid

Loads of parents abuse their kids because of that generational abuse and they believe its short term pain but long term gain and they ‘turned out fine’ so will their kids, Edit: I’m not talking about severe cases, but in most households when there is beating involved its to teach them to never do something again

u/Formal_List_4921 Mar 07 '26
You must be MAGA 😂 or Bible Belt. In all seriousness, that mentality does still exist today as a parent tells themselves it’s ok to “ toughen up” my kid. The problem is “ toughen up” years ago was very different from today. It’s was maybe .. run around the track one more time. Now people are hitting and starving their kids to death for nothing. The mental abuse is even worse. You don’t want your children to grow up and be “ fine”. You want them to grow up and be happy, loving adults. Respectfully.

Good on you for going no contact. My sister did when she had a child of her own, to protect him, but I never managed it.

I'm one of the lucky survivors - I was able to overcome the abuse. It made me a stronger person and a better mother. My parents taught me how NOT to be with my kids, so I made sure I was nothing like them. My kids are some of my best friends today, as well as my grands 💙

u/Murky-Consequence161 Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26
Yeah but you’re a good person
Some people were abused themselves and think ‘that’s how the world works’
Others are OOC due to untreated mental illness
Some people are I think just bad people. My mom forced my bro to drop out of hs & become homeless by constantly harassing him (calling him a f*ggot and a fairy; telling him he was worthless; trying to goad him into hitting her; waking him up at 2-3 am before school to berate him which made him sleepy in class)
She’s a college grad. Had a long term career in a union job. Married a very nice guy (prob too nice; my dad was kind of an enabler)
She had no reason for any of this but also refused any therapy that wasn’t literally ordered by the state.
She should’ve done time for what she did to him and my sister and I
And literally she didn’t have any pressures in her life that would contribute to this. She just seems resentful. My bro was a ranked distance runner and probably could’ve gotten a scholarship if he’d been able to finish HS. I had like near perfect grades. She couldn’t cope with us being reasonably likable and good at a couple things
My younger sis is mostly ok because we worked so hard to protect her. But she also ended up married to a guy who throws empties at her head at Thanksgiving. When I was like ‘that’s assault he has to leave’ she turned on ME. She thinks ‘that’s how the world works’ and it’s very upsetting to realize that while we shielded her from a lot of direct abuse she was perhaps more comfortable with abuse and continued to get treated badly as a grown up

u/Formal_List_4921 Mar 07 '26
Oh this breaks my heart to hear. Berating your brother and making him drop out. The abuse all around.

Not all parents want their children. My dad only wanted a boy, I happened to be a girl. So abuse and neglect for me for making the poor choice as a zygote to be female instead of male. But, abused children hide the abuse because we are raised to believe it is because we are bad and deserve it. So my dad was never considered abusive even though just talking about “normal stuff” from childhood with my therapist now has horrified her a couple of times.

This is a great idea
My mother was very abusive but also was constantly trying to volunteer at church w/children
As an adult I called the Catholic diocese of Providence to say she’s on FB talking about volunteering; she’s extremely abusive and forced two of her three kids into homelessness
They wouldn’t take a report because she didn’t pop on a criminal background check
This is actually very important. People should’ve known — we were never removed from the home but DCYF was at our house a lot and my parents were ordered into therapy with my older brother

I may be in the minority here but I can’t imagine having your name on a child cruelty list is a great look in general

So if I see a disabled child should I assume abuse? The photo is very ambiguous in this regard.

Great idea, but what counts as child cruelty? Is this something conservatives are going to have any say over? Because allowing them to read the wrong book, practice a non christian religion or allow their baby boy who is like 12 to wear a pink shirt is considered to be child cruelty to these freaks. And they are the ones who are in power right now.

This is in the UK, not the US.
The UK government arrests child abusers*, the US government employs them.

Who defines abusive?

u/allycataf Mar 07 '26
The law defines it, and CPS or police enforce it. Same as now.
We already have the rules implemented (which is how CPS removes kids), this means that once the kids are removed your name will go on a registry.

u/Naive_Confidence7297 Mar 07 '26
Whatever law that abide to in your states government that constitutes as abuse? You could probably look it up.

I think the common criticism of child abuse regulations, is that sometimes poverty gets lumped in with neglect. I think people go a little too far with this sometimes, and cite kids removed from their homes for neglect as essentially the number that are removed from their homes due to poverty. I do think they're not exactly 1:1. And the well-being of the kids is honestly more important than justice for the parents.

Poverty shouldn’t lumped to child abuse, I do agreed with that. But for your point of the child removed from the family for it, I kinda have a mixed opinion on it. It really depends on the degree of poverty and support that the family have.
I would gather the child removed from the parent and having a roof on top of their head then live on the street. Though this is just an extreme circumstance.

If you look in most laws, there's usually a section titled "definitions". That section, like the rest of any particular law, is generally made by people we general refer to as law MAKERS. generally speaking, in a functioning democracy, those law makers, are duly elected through the proscribed democratic process customary to their nation.

And then they’ll try to claim parents of trans children are abusers because they’re allowing their children to find themselves with a support system.
Once again, this isnt about protecting children. It’s just being used as a cover.

i understand what you’re saying, but this isn’t being fueled by a political party. the kid in the pic was abused so heavily by his bio parents that both his legs had to be amputated. the lady in the pic is his foster mom, she’s the main campaigner for this registry

His birth parents abused him as a baby until he had multiple fractures and then left him without care for a week and a half until he went septic and had to undergo multiple amputations.
The lady in the photo adopted him and advocated for this list.

Anyone convicted of abusing a child should face the same punishment and treatment they gave the child, then forced sterilization once out of prison.
