We are all aware of the many laws incorporated into our justice system protecting children from abuse by their parents,
and in some instances, grandparents. These laws are very important, as no child anywhere should suffer abuse from a parent or anyone else.
In other words, these laws that protect our children are much needed in our society.
Now let's just flip that coin over and suppose a parent is suffering from physical, verbal, emotional, or even financial abuse
from their own child, or children.
As I am certain you are aware, more and more parents are being murdered by one or more
of their children, some of which have put very careful and detailed planning. What helps to keep this a partially buried issue in our society, is a parents reluctance to divulge to anyone, the fact that they are being abused, and scared to death of their own children.
Unfortunately, this has become a serious issue for many reasons, with the silence of the parents not coming forward, and that fact that the law tends to protect kids on account of their age. In other words, many of these abusive and angry children
are minors, and have very little to fear from the law.
This has got to change in order for parents to have the same rights that have been bestowed upon their own children. In other words, the laws now in place to protect children from their abusive parents, must now give parents that very same
protection from their kids.
Please read the following link which has been so kindly provided for me, by a truly wonderful lady by the name of Ria,
who compiled all the information needed to bring about awareness to this growing problem.
If you want to be shocked at what some children do and why, then please visit Rea's site. It is truly mind boggling. Ria is also a valued member of

Parental Abuse


Abuse From Your Children
Shame on a child who raises their
hand,
Shattering hearts all across our land,
A Mother or Father the
ultimate pain,
From son or daughter who bear the blame.
What evil lays buried in the mind of a
child,
Injecting such venom from anger run wild,
A Mother cowers and a
Father will weep,
Unwilling to share the secrets they keep.
Covering bruises and scratches they
bear,
Inflicted by violence that reeks in the air,
Their own flesh and
blood now rises to strike,
Wounds of the heart that tears will not
wipe.
God, please stop my child from hurting me
so,
I've done nothing to deserve such wrath nor woe,
I only stand guilty
of unconditional love,
Devoted to this child with your help from
above.
What torment has invaded the heart of my
child,
Who once stood so loving, tender, and mild,
The grief now felt is
like poison to the soul,
While the rage of my child continues to
grow.
Oh please my sweet child do not make me
hide,
From the hands I've cradled and kept warm inside,
The best years of
my love I gave freely to you,
Why must I tremble from a nightmare come
true.
Never once in my life did I ever give
thought,
My whole world would crumble from feeling distraught,
Many laws
have been passed to protect you from me,
While the kids striking parents are
allowed to be free.
You still live in my house and share the same
roof,
While as parents we suffer the unyielding abuse,
You scream in my
face many vulgar remarks,
Pushing and hitting from daylight till
dark.
Too ashamed to confide in a friend or the law,
I
suffer in silence no conclusion to draw,
As a parent my heart is overflowing
with pain,
My world upside down from a child gone insane.
How many more days must I try and survive,
Your
unyielding bullying and cold staring eyes,
Do I wait for the day that I'll be
found dead,
Or shall I quit now and take my own life instead!
