"Argument: Child Abuse"

Assertion Claim

• Child abuse could physically and mentally harm your child.

Evidence/Concrete detail

• Child abuse is not any way to punish a child or try to teach them a lesson, it will only make your child afraid of you, and inundated with everything.
• Commentary 1: In many cases children get hit, or brutally abused from something as little as breaking an item. Some parents leave their kids with babysitters and the babysitters will harm the children or punish them in ways the parents would not like for them to be punished.
• Commentary 2: Most runaways, adolescent prostitutes and teenage delinquent's report having been victims of a form of child abuse, and there has been reporters that violent criminals suffered abuse, either physical and/or sexual abuse.

Evidence/concrete Detail 2

• Child abuse can mentally and physically harm the child in many different ways that can leave them scarred for many years or the rest of their life.
• Children who suffer from child abuse often times see themselves as the way their abuser did if the abuser were to tell them "you are ugly and you will not amount to anything" the abused child would most likely believe that for a very long time.
• any form of abuse is destructive to a child's self-confidence and self-esteem. That can affect a child's emotional development, resulting in a sense of and inadequacy.

Opposing Claim

• What some might say is abuse others might say is just a punishment and is the only way to get their child to listen. They may say that everybody has different ways to punish their child, and that a few bruises wont hurt them.

My Rebuttal

•   I say it is not "punishment" if you are physically harming the child which will affect them their whole life, punishment is not hitting the child 10 to 20 times or kicking them or neglecting them, that is not punishment. Bruises may heal, but the mental damage will not. That will be with them for a very long time.
