Child abuse is a condition of the mind of both the abuser and the child.  When a child is abused physically, the impression stays with them for as long as the brain can remember. Obviously, it is not always consciously that the effects of child abuse can be seen, felt or emotionally tapped.  Yet it is a condition that is impressionable and not always direct.

Child abuse can occur with the images a child receives via media imprints and or phsycial abuse of a a family member that a child views with its eyes, heart and or ears.  Prevention of child abuse is the responsible of the community that often goes neglected.  Decades ago, communities around the world have had the elder parents, usually defined as grandparents to help in the raising of the children of a village.  This would also include elders of other family members that would help to direct young adults and see to their welfare.  Child abuse was an event that strangers would speak up on and because of moral conditioning often caught in time not to be extensive.  Today, child abuse and its prevention is so subtle that sometimes both the parent and or the child doens't realize they are part of the circle of being abused or an abuser.  It could be as subtle as allowing a child to hear lyrics at a young age not to be able to dechipher what they are listening to.  It is abusive for a child to be singing sexually explicit lyrics at age two or three.

With images of media attached to some songs, a child is subjected to physical reactions of the body they are not ready to handle. These are circumstances that are unfair to a very young adult to have to contend with at an early age and may help in them being abusive to themselves through wrong decisions about relationships and or what it means to be in a loving relationships.  This type of relating to adult habits as children can be considered a type of child abuse if the child's parent is not aware or takes out time to be aware of what they are doing by subjecting their child to too much adult material while they are way under age to understand what they are seeing, listening to and or singing about.

Every March has been set aside for teaching young people, adults and child abuse specialist about habits that help to enforce child abuse in children.  March is Child Abuse Prevention Month.  All over America and maybe other parts of the world pamphlets and agencies have free sessions on Child Abuse Prevention and other help for abused victims. It is obviously not the only time of the year to seek assistance of find knowledge on it, but March is set aside to help draw citizens to the importance of understanding, detecting and preventing child abuse.  Help a child's well-being by learning more about the signs of child abuse.
