Alice Park’s Time Magazine article “Side Effect of the Recession: An Increase in Child Abuse” shows how when people are going through a bad time they take out there anger on the wrong things. The recession has taken tolls on everyone but we have to take control of our selves and push through it.
Child abuse is not good at all for a child’s growing environment but the recession is making it more of a reality. Everyone is being effected by the recession that is being, in a way, channeled at the youth of our world. The children of this generation are being abused because the adults need to take their anger out on something. Just imagine waiting for your mom and dad to come home being really happy, but instead they enter that door mad. When you ask “how was your day dad?” you don’t expect getting yelled at and maybe even hit you. Sadly this is the reality for some of the kids but its not always the same scenario. We need to realize that in this recession we have to keep our heads up and not take it out on the vulnerable. We have learned that taking our anger out on something works better than keeping it bottled up. The children think that they have did something wrong. They don't now how the thing that are effecting their parents don't involve them.
We need to challenge ourselves to look into a brighter future for the sake of the children’s lives.
