Different forms of child abuse. 20 Feb 2013 01:11 #202506

Joenoahi Current streak: 83 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 74 Karma: 5	An important topic to discuss is child abuse. Child abuse comes in different forms: sexual, physical, emotional, and most common is neglect. Statistics say that 1 in 5 boys and 1 in 3 girls were sexually abused by the time they reach age 17. And they were abused y someone in their family that they know well, like I was. Not by who we always believe to be a stranger.

I thought this

3) this might seem stupid by why don't we all just make every kids life as hard a possible. Because everyone knows that no pain=no gain. So the more pain we put on our kids the more they will gain. Right?

and this

4) why shouldn't I make my younger brothers life as hard as possible because in the log run the more pain means the more gain. Right? That's what Judaism sees it too? So I should never stop my father from abusing my brothers because I know that the abuse will lead to the growth of the boys.

were two of the questions being asked.

Judaism sees it as the Torah says it.

Joenoahi Current streak: 83 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 74 Karma: 5	This is a very good point. This was actually my initial question. Does anyone know how it works? "Is the growing from suffering, or from overcoming the suffering through healing...?"
