For me anyways, when I was being severely abused by my mother, I knew it was wrong, and even though it wasn't real, tv shows helped me see parents, mothers in paticular that didn't abuse their kids. In fact they got hugs and kisses even when they did something wrong. I got out of the house as soon as I legally could and changed the cycle. I could never do what my mom did to me. If I wasn't so strong, I would have been killed by my mom, I still carry that strength with me.

To me, maybe I am wrong, but I think people who are child abusers must not have much of a conscience to do the horrendace things that they do. If you even looked into a childs eyes I don't know how anyone can hurt such innocent creatures.
