A PAINFUL SILENCE 🌠

A child’s innocence starts as soon as a child is born into a new life, and later, as the child grows up with time, it starts to understand the meaning of love and trust, and these two emotions (Love & Trust) can shatter a child’s heart and mind if the child has been abused. 

Child Abuse is a terrible disease and a disgusting crime against a child. A child is like a rose petal; if touched roughly, it falls.

The first connection in the life of a child is the parents, as with them, a child feels unharmed, and later, through the connection, the child is introduced to his/her siblings, relatives, friends, and all those who become part of the child's life, for a long or short period.

However, if any of this connection betrays the child’s trust and love by abusing him/her mentally and physically, then it would be like a poison web surrounding the child, and sometimes the web is so strong and unbreakable that it stays forever in the memory of the child even when he/she grows up. 

Teaching your child about ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’ is the right thing to do, and warning your child about not talking or going out with strangers is another good way to protect your child. 

But in some cases, the child suffers abuse from someone he/she knew very well, someone who he/she loved and felt safe with, and now is being destroyed by the same ones. 

Therefore, as human beings, we all should take responsibility whenever we hear or read about a child being abused and do our level best to stop the disgusting crime from happening to the innocent child before it is too late!

After all, nothing is impossible if we set our hearts and minds to doing something. 

Today, money has become an important factor for us. No matter how much we earn, we still urge for more. It is like the second oxygen of our life. There is no harm in making money, as long as you have full control of it and not making the money control you. 

In today’s era, the system of the joint family is almost gone. And with both parents working to earn a better life for themselves and for their children, they work around the clock and are so immersed in their working world that they think just dropping their child off at a good child-care or with someone they know is the end of their duties. 

That is the first wrong path to take by any working parents. Even in your rush hours of life, take some time to talk with your child, gain your child’s confidence, and make your child feel that they can share anything with you, without feeling scared or ashamed. 

In many cases, the parents turn out to be judgmental and do not trust the child. When the child talks about abuse, the parents think it is all in the child's imagination and nothing else, and instead of listening to the child, they scold the child for talking such rubbish, which makes the child helpless and confused.

The parents should understand that if a child wants to tell a lie or create a problem for anyone, the child can make any excuses, but when a child talks about abuse. It means serious, and one should not take it lightly; instead should take direct action!

Talking to your child is the best way to gain their confidence. Having a little chat with your child about how they spent their day at school and about their friends is the best way to understand your child's daily routine.

If your child does not want to go out with someone, even if that person is a close friend or family member, do not force him or her to go with that person. Try to understand that there has to be a big reason for your child making a scene for not going out with that particular person.

Never blame your child if he/she was abuse, remember your child is the victim, not the culprit. 

Check on your child’s behaviour. If a child who is full of life suddenly turns silent and prefers to be alone, does not like anyone hugging or touching him/her, wakes up crying at night, feels scared around people's then that is the biggest green signal for a parent to know that something is not right, and your child is suffering.  

‘Good Touch and Bad Touch teaching does not end your parenthood duties. Because sometimes, a child can get confused about many things, or perhaps couldn't understand how to talk about any abuse that he/she is going through, and so the parent must bring the child out of the shell. 

Never control your child; remember, too much of controlling can make your child scared of you and can make him/her feel more comfortable around someone good and friendly towards the child, yet a devil in a human form. Therefore, treat your child as a human being and not as an object. 

Even animals never leave their babies until; they are good enough to hunt on their own and every parent should fall the rule of the animal. First, try not to leave your child all alone, unless you are sure about the child's safety. Keep an eye on your child until the child is mature enough to understand what is right and what is wrong and can take care of them. Nowadays, with technology, it is very easy to connect with your child, no matter where your child is and with whom. 

A lone and alone child is the first open gate to Child Abuse, so take care of your child before it is too late and remember, behind your child’s silence, there could be pain. 

Raise your voice against anyone who commits child abuse, no matter how close that person is to you or how powerful. However, do not use your child as a weapon for your problem with someone. Sometimes, you hear and read about disgusting lies about child abuse, where a child becomes a puppet in the hands of his parents, who force the child to tell lies about they been abused by someone, just because the parents had a problem with that person. Remember, by doing so, you are not only destroying someone else's life for your benefit but also your child, because one lie can lead to many lies and in the end, when the truth comes out no one will never trust your child words it will be cry wolf.
