Family abuse

Family abuse is broad subject. Family maltreatment is an important topic, due to the fact that children who are the future of the society learn their basic values from their family.

In the case of O.J. Simpson the media captured the attention of the public in the infamous double murder case. What the public can learn from the O.J. Simpson case is that spousal abuse can sometimes lead to fatal endings. In my opinion the ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, Nicole Brown Simpson, was at fault as well. Although Nicole Brown Simpson was divorced from O.J., she continued to spend some of the holidays with him. I believe that the two to three weeks a year that Nicole Brown Simpson spent with O.J. Simpson renewed old marital feelings and habits. I think that when a couple separates and divorces due to reasons of physical abuse, they should stay away from each other and they should not have any type of relationship with each other. If O.J. Simpson was not a proper husband for Nicole Brown Simpson then why did she sleep and spend time with him? There is no doubt in my mind that O.J. Simpson's actions were completely wrong and he should receive a life sentence, but his ex-wife had played head-games with him.

The John Wayne Bobbit case demonstrated to the men in our society that if they keep abusing their mate there are chances for harsh revenge. John Bobbit was wrong for abusing his wife and should have been punished by law for his actions, but what his wife did to hi

ach city, the rate of child sexual abuse dropped. What Paris said was interesting. However, I do not think the reason for child sexual abuse is due to sexual deprivation, although in some rare instances it could be possible. I understand the mental health profession and our society as a whole is not dealing with the problem of child sexual abuse in any significant way. Denial, as Freud believed, is the way we deal with this horrible crime against our children. It does exist more than we think so lets deal with it. Lets go to the cause of the problem (the existence of sexual predators). As in cases of adult rape, not as many cases are reported as take place. One of the ways we can get an estimated number of abused children is to randomly interview adults and ask if they were abused as a child. This manner of sampling is called "prevalence estimates." A person who is under the age of 18 is not fully aware of the consequences of his or her action. So that person cannot "consent" to sexual acts. How can a child "cooperate" truly with an adult if they are tricked into the sexual act? There are many ways to be sexually abusive from "intercourse" (anal/vaginal), to "dry intercourse" which is rubbing the penis against the
