Child abuse is 15 percent more of a chance to happen in a household if adult abuse is also happening. In this article it talks about how sometimes the child gets abuse because of the intended abuse of the mother. Sometimes children are just the the target of the household to get abused. I think that since the child is the weakest they're the easiest to get abused. Sometimes the neglect from the parent to help out is because of the fear of the abuser. When a kid gets a abuse early and don't understand domestic violence they can see violence as the only way to getting one's need. Some kids turn out to be a certain way and not even know why that is but because of their abuse as they were a child. Like for instance in my sociology class we were learning about a little girl that just wanted to kill her brother and her new family that adopted her. What she was doing was because of her father sexually abusing her when she was a baby until her and her brother were taken away. This just show how much child abuse can affect the child at the time and even as they grow up.
