There can be no crime more despicable than abusing children. Too many parents find the responsibility of caring for an infant, toddler or teenager more than they can handle and strike out at their children in horrific ways. Often these parents were victims of abusive parents when they were growing up and have no other tools available to them for the task at hand. This lack of knowledge is not an adequate excuse for the pain they inflict on innocents. The children who survive and are able to rise above their situation are very often the best child abuse speakers.
When exploring their histories you will find that they endured the worst kind of treatment at the hands of their parents or other care givers. Children of abusive parents learn how to survive at a very young age. Many suffer beatings, starvation, emotional and even sexual mistreatment and develop strategies for survival that serve to shelter them emotionally and sometimes prevent the mistreatment from happening.
Some children are removed from their abusive homes only to find themselves placed in an even worse situation in the foster care system. The abusive treatment may come from neighbors, siblings, aunts or uncles or step parents. These people make certain their victims will not speak of their plight using threats and intimidation so many times the victims are grown adults before they speak of the abuse they suffered.
Unfortunately, many adult survivors of abusive homes go on to perpetuate the same behaviors towards the members of their own families. Others are able to take the experiences of their childhood and turn them into tools designed to help others. These people are many times found in social service occupations such as Child Protective Services.
These individuals use their experience, strength and hope to motivate other victims to start moving through the pain and grief that they endured to reach a balanced existence where they can pursue their goals without carrying the burden of the abuses they endured. The main motivators they use is the success they have had in their lives.
These individuals have learned to turn tragedy into success by working on the strengths and self reliance they taught themselves as children. With these skills they have become more literate and have developed a program designed to support others while they create a life that makes a difference to themselves and their community.
The presenters of these programs are not limited to public audiences but also make it a point to speak at seminars and conferences attended by police and social services personnel. Their goal is to help authorities to identify situations where children are in jeopardy of being harmed. They provide insights into the behaviors that may imply that abuses are taking place in the home.
The goal of these advocates is to help stop the cycle of violence in families around the world. They share their stories with their audiences and help others to find solutions to their own private dilemmas. They believe that they have an obligation to those still suffering abuses to speak for them when they cannot speak for themselves.
