CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD ABUSE
Shrill cries from a small child in the middle of the night. "Ahhh, please daddy don't I'm sorry, daddy I'm so sorry. I'll be good I promise, I love you daddy!" Scared and confused, all she can do is sit there and take the abuse. She's so frighten; she doesn't understand why her daddy hates her so much to hit her so hard. She told him that she loves him, but he still hits her. All he does is yell, "SHUT UP! Why do you make me do this, shut up!" How do you think you would feel? Sitting scared to death, afraid to move, afraid to make him mad. So you sit there in the dark crying ever so quietly.
