Introduction
All around the world, there are cases of millions of children who are trapped in child abuse. This deprives them of their right to grow as children, without education, and health. In the end, they are condemned to a life of poverty and other forms of human wants. CITATION MAA151 \l 1033 (Abbasi, Saeidi, Khademi, Hoseini, & Moghadam, 2015) It cannot be ignored that there are things that children do to help the families as part of their family chores. But the main issue is that they were people of an upper hand often less off competition. It is a very serious violation and a good team CITATION MOD08 \l 1033 (O'Donnell, Scott, & Stanley, 2008). The following report focuses on the issues of child abuse by looking at various aspects of child maltreatment, the long term effects and how the issue of poverty contributes to high cases of child abuse CITATION SKi17 \l 1033 (Norman, Byambaa, Dee, Butchart, & Scott, 2012). The report will also discuss how depriving the child a right to education is a form of abuse including poor nutrition.

According to various studies of maltreating parents, it that they usually show less positive emotions to their children and more negative emotions than the non-abuse parents. Studies also show that maltreating parents are usually very isolated from their children and are away from their interaction with others CITATION SKi17 \l 1033 (Norman, Byambaa, Dee, Butchart, & Scott, 2012). This provides a few non-parental model of emotional communication.

This in turn will be manifested in deficits when it comes to processing of their emotional information. For example, a maltreated child will often show many difficulties in understanding CITATION MAA151 \l 1033 (Abbasi, Sa...
