If a child is abused when very young, this can lead to (and usually does), emotional or physical harm. To see a child go through physical or sexual abuse is just devastating. Children are most impressionable at the approximate age of 10 to 12. Sexual or any type of physical abuse is a very serious offense. It isn't always easy to spot children who are affected by this. Neglecting a child is the most common type of child abuse.
If a person abuses a defenseless child, it shows they are a coward. They can't find any other way to feel superior or feel in control. It's hard to believe that this even happens. The worst the abuse the more difficult it is to believe. After a child has been abused, this leads to them having severe pshycological effects. This in turn leads to teen violence.
