Why Parents spank their children?

I read an article where the father brutally punished his 12 years old son. According to Fox 29 Report in Miami, this 12 years old child was acting up in school. When his father found out that his child was miss behaving, he decided give a lesson to his child. What a lesson !. This man burned his child's leg. The mother decided to keep the child out of school to hide the injuries.

When you read a news like this one is difficult not to react against the parents. I say parents because I think the mother is guilty like her husband. Since the moment she decided to hide her child injuries. She new her husband abuse the child and she did nothing against her husband.`As a mother she is suposed to protect her child and according to the news she did not do anything against her husband. I do not understand why this mother did not take any actions to protect her child against his father. Probably this woman had been abuse by her husband too.

Burn your child's body is punishment or abuse?. Of curse is abuse. Now I would like to tell you that child abuse have consequences. These consequences are not only for the parents but also for this child. Some of the consequences these parents may receive are: the child may be remove from home, parents may go to hail and do time, etc. What ever these parents receive they aernd.

Now what do you think may be the consequences this child may confront? Well according to National Survey of Child and Adolescent abuse; this child may have Behavioral Consequences. Which means that this child may experience problems such as delinquency, low academic achievement, drug use, etc. According to National Survey, many abused children become abusing parents too.
