A child who is abused by a parent feels confused, sad, depressed and has little control in their lives and doesn't understand what they have done wrong. They seldom will play with their peers; their grades slip if they are going to school and they may become sullen, moody and stay indoors most of the time (often because the abusive parents refuses to let them out of the house.) They try to please their abuser hoping that they will be loved as they should be, but no amount of pleasing will change their abuser's wrath. If the child is sexually abused by a stranger or family member they feel ashamed, afraid to tell anyone and live a life of constant turmoil which follows them into their adult life.

∙ 11y agoIt is common for a child to shy away if being abused because they are living in fear. Children of abuse have absolutely no control over the issue nor do they understand what true abuse is and often they consider this to be a nature way of life for most families. 20 years ago social workers with children often thought that when they confronted the two parents if the child ran to the one parent they considered this to be the safe parent, but soon learned this is not true because often the child will run to their abuser out of fear and habit.

How would you help the child understand why he or she is returning home?
I would tell the child that it's too bad, "what I say goes", lift the kid up, and go home. No child should be allowed to boss around the parent. The only way for them to learn this is with a few spankings and lectures, instead of simply shying away and allowing the child to get what they want.

This would be very unlikely. If the mother is providing for the child and the child is not being abused why would the child be taken away from the mother. Why would the child be taken away from where it is being cared for properly and give to someone who has had problems with the law?

Otherwise she has no right to remove the child and separate her from her father.
