Abuse is use as an excuse for punishments.

I believe that abuse are and can be use as an excuse for punishments for kids. In some parts of the world abuse is use as an excuse for punishments whether the parents knows it or not. For example, in Africa if a kid does something wrong their parents will gave them harsh punishments which can be seen as abuse towards the child.


One defendant was beaten nearly every day of his young life with a switch from a tree or with a belt, was regularly locked in his room, where his parents had removed the handles from the door and installed several locks on the outside of the door and boarded up all the windows. They would leave him in there for days at a time, forcing him to urinate and defecate on the bedroom floor, something for which he would then be punished. He cried and begged to be let out and would become so claustrophobic that he almost asphyxiated several times from the panic attacks that he experienced. The punishment only escalated. As he got older his parents made him do push ups while they held a hunting knife under his chest, as motivation to keep him from faltering.

This article shows what this person have been through and all the punishments his parents put him through. It shows that his parents use violent acts as an excuse for punishing him for whatever it was that he did. Most parents use abuse as an excuse for punishing their kids, probably to say that they are not harming their kids they are punishing them. I feel that abuse should not be use as an excuse for punishing kids. When his parents were making him do push ups while they held a hunting knife under his chest, as motivation to keep him from faltering is the excuse that they use in place of abuse so it can seem that they are doing something for his own good when they are abusing him.
