children rely on adults to start their lives. With this, the parents must first meet
the child's basic needs such as food, shelter, and love and then offer the young
person some form of guidance (Buss, 2019). Furthermore, abuse occurs when
parents or other people who care for children become violent; consequently,
every verbal and physical attack affects the child's growth. The maltreatment of a
child can have a lot of adverse effects on the child's self-esteem. This experience

child abuse, particularly in social learning theory, says abusive behavior can be

and neglect (Daigle & Muftić, 2016). Indeed, it has to claim that parents are more
likely to abuse their children if they have previously harmed their children
(Widom,1989).
Social learning theory says that violence perpetuates itself based on ideas
about the implications of abuse and neglect on various outcomes that intertwine
three times more likely to engage in the behavior again. (Milaniak & Widom,
2015). Simply because this does not imply that every abused or neglected child
will grow up to be violent and criminal (Widom, 1989). It is possible to lessen the

IQ, demographic traits (e.g., being White or older), or mentorship may help
protect children from the long-term impacts of abuse and prevent future violence
More than one hypothesis may explain why children do abuse. We can
better comprehend child abuse and its effects by utilizing a variety of theoretical
frameworks. Attachment between parent or caregiver and the child has a vital
people wherein in fact these individuals are mostly defenseless and tolerant with
it. However, it could lessen if this "bond" maintained by the caregiver or parents
would serve as a safe base for the child to recognize, wherein trust in the parent
or caregiver makes it easier for secure children to seek assistance with learning
from parents. With these, the child grows uninterrupted into a happy and
with the parent can cause children to show poor socio-emotional effects such as
poor social, coping, and problem-solving skills, tantrums, clinging, and violent
conduct. These harmful effects frequently last throughout a child's life, which is
now easily prone to the influence of violence. Second point, aside that child
abuse may experience from adult other people, but can be also transmitted from
implication of that it is normal and acceptable behavior, that is why by the time
they became a parent they will do the same if they had a child. Moreover, one
might be a factor that child abuse could not stop because, in the family itself,
children due to some situations that they are busy in their work, the stress of
taking care of their children and the like. These protective factors of effective
supports, or coping strategies that allow them to parent effectively, which focuses
on family strengths, allows parents to build resilience, develop parental skills, and
gain knowledge of resources that might decrease exposure to child risk from any
abuse.
