Also know that abuse takes place because there is too much ignorance and children simply do not understand what it really means

what?

abuse is never the child's fault. ever...regardless of that the child knows, feels , thinks, understands, etc...

are you implying that by this statement that abuse is abuse of the child is because of ignorance on the child's fault? because that is how i read this...

really? rape is rape, violation is violation..i think that even as a child..i knew that such by an adult hurt & was somehow wrong..

implying that it is the child's responsibility to know & report abuse in this equation is just ludicrous & irresponsible. look at the power equation...no child holds any power there..it is all in the adults hand...so how exactly is a child supposed to assume the responsibility is stopping the abuse?

yes they can report it if they are old enough & brave enough to do so..but if i read this quote & your post correctly (& i might be wrong) you imply that it is the child's job to know the abuse is wrong in the first place.

no..it is the adult's job...not the child. the adult failed here..not the child.
Thanks for this!
