Not Safe From Their Own Children.
Good Day,
.
It seems that figures are being released by charity organisations and clinical psychologists which would appear to show that many parents are now living in fear of their own children
One very disturbing aspect of this, is that there are a growing number of cases of children actually being physically violent towards their own parents.
.
These adults are living in homes which are now becoming places of fear, instead of safe havens away from a sometimes cruel world.
.
Unbelievably, this includes every age of child, from toddlers who bite, kick and use foul language, to grown adult children.
.
There are cited to be many and various causes for the upsurge of this dreadful phenomenon….
These would include frequently drinking too much, even with extremely under-age children.
The recent onset of legislation dealing with discipline towards children, which has left parents, teachers and other one one-time figures of authority so hamstrung and unsure that they are afraid to act against young people, who are more than prepared attack them, or to threaten to contact social services if they do not get their own way.
Many young people are constantly playing computer games, with unbelievably high levels of violence and mayhem.
Lack of social contact with family members over meals etc.
Divorces and break-ups, which cause children to feel abandoned, fearful and angry, these emotions sometimes simmering for years before exploding in aggressive verbal or physical behaviour.
Many parents of children who begin to bully other children try to get help at this stage, but feel they are sidelined instead of helped.
The common use of drugs, available from a very young age now….
.
The list just goes on and on.
I also think that parents are far too indulgent now and that this has the knock-on result that these over indulged young people are not used to being told ‘No’, which results in tantrums.
Nowadays people are inclined to expect to instantly be given everything they want, whether they deserve it or not, because that is how it has always been and they have not learned to be disciplined and cope with disappointment.
.
Older people are no longer being respected as authority figures, and this applies to the police as well as everyone else.
.
Statistically, children from broken homes are seen as more liable to turn towards criminal behaviour.
Single mothers are seen to be unable to be accepted as authority figures, and girls are becoming equally as aggressive towards others as the boys are.
.
It has been reported by the charity ‘Parentline Plus’ that during the last two years they have dealt with almost 23,000 calls from parents who cannot cope with the aggression they are receiving from their children.
Several thousand of these desperate parents have actually been physically abused.
.
Isn’t it depressing and totally worrying to hear this.
In a part of the world where there is no fear of attacks by Janjaweed, no starvation, full access to education, no child labour or slavery, we are not able to live in happiness and security.
We make our own style of demons.
