    One of my favorite songs I learned in Primary as a young LDS child was “A Child’s Prayer.” It’s opening lines are “Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child’s prayer?” For some children in the United States, they are in such destitute conditions they may doubt there is hope, or anyone above that is listening. Abusive parents, a life in poverty, or sexual abuse are only some of the problems some children in the United States are facing right now. The LDS Church places immense importance on families, and healthy familial relationships– Jesus Christ himself taught little children with love and patience, and in Matthew 19:14 he said “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is

  • The Severity of Child Sexual Abuse

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sexual abuse cannot be clearly defined with ease. In fact, sexual abuse is an umbrella term for any sort of situation, whether or not it involves physical contact, in which a sexually immature child is exposed to anything sexual in nature. Because no child is psychologically mature enough for sexual stimulation, the complex feelings associated with it are mentally and emotionally disfiguring. Children who have been sexually abused experience an array of negative emotions such as shame, guilt and anger, and may display oddly withdrawn or distrustful behaviors. They cannot help but feel that they somehow brought the abuse unto themselves (Saisan, et al). One major contributing factor to these severe psychological consequences is the concept of trust. Sexual abuse is, in most cases, committed by a parent or other trusted adult figure. While children are naïve on such adult topics, they can still get an overwhelming feeling that the attention is wrong, yet they are unsure of how to cope with it. If the child has an emotional atta...

    Experiencing emotional abuse as a child can lead to a decrease in self-esteem as an adolescent. Many parents do not know the difference between common angry outbursts and emotional abuse. The easiest way to define the two, would be that common anger usually concludes with the parent’s apologizing for their actions in more cases. Forms of emotional abuse include “belittling, exploiting, denying, rejecting, isolating, inconsistency, neglecting, and violence” (Kairys, Johnson, Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, 2002); possibly interactions witnessed by many children.
