The effects of domestic violence on children?

In: Abusive Relationships, Criminal Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

The effects of Domestic Violence on children vary; if the child grows up with his dad abusing his mom (mentally or physically), they may see it as alright when they grow up, and continue the cycle of abuse. The child may be at a greater risk of being abused themselves, especially if the child is a girl, she may become a teenager/adult and be in a relationship with an abusive man because of the way her childhood was--I'm not saying she'll do it on purpose, it'll just be the type of guy she attracts because she has low self-esteem, most likely. Another effect may be that the child could be emotionally scarred for life; seeing someone (especially parent or guardian) being abused, effects the child deeply and will most likely lead them into depression easier, which in turn will lead to low self-esteem, confidence issues, etc.
