PHYSICAL CHILD ABUSE

Physical Child Abuse:

Physical child abuse is a serious problem.

Most children are abused at home or by someone they know. They often love this person, or are afraid of them, so they do not tell anyone.

Child physical abuse is when a person physically hurts a child for example:

*Hitting and beating a child

*Hitting a child with an object

*Kicking a child

Are only a few examples of physical child abused as listed in the below article.

I once knew a little girl who suffered child abuse thinking it’s was a normal part of being Disciplined. The first time she was abused she was whipped with a electric extension cord. Welps all over her legs and because she didn’t listen and tried to run the cord caught her around the neck. A bruise that her white turtle neck shirt would cover while she was at school. Afraid to share it with anyone she promised her parent she wouldn’t be hard headed any more being that she was now fearful and in shock.

The abuse this little girl experienced later escalated when she grew into a young teen. What was once the extension cord has now turned into physically being choked, punched, kicked and once she was even spit on shortly before having her head ran into the wall. This young teen was use to verbal abuse being told she should have been aborted (a nicer way of putting what was actually said), her being born had hindered the future dreams of her parent.

This young teen felt unwanted, unloved and worthless. She secretly hid the abuse and constantly made excuses to her best friend when questioned about the bruises. Deep down all this little girl now a young teen ever wanted was to feel loved and wanted and to be protected from the one who should have been protecting her. She often wondered what was wrong with with her why was she so hard to love. I know this little girl’s story so well because I am Her and Im Sharing My Story so this Little Girl can Receive Her Healing.

As I look back over my life my most profound and happiest moment is when I gave my life to Christ and I truly understood what John 3:16 truly meant.

““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

To learn that there was someone who loved me enough or so much that He would give His Life for Mine. Someone to Save Me, Protect me and Deliver me from all that I’d been through. Someone to take all my shame and condemnation away and fill it with His Love is something I’ll forever Cherish and Boldly Share with the World.
