 * Tatiana: ** Child abuse has different functions, there are 4 main types which are:

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;">__-CAUSATION:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: red;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0070c0;">Mejia: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> child abuse is caused mostly when the family is poor or when the adult was a child he was was treated like that, so he thinks that he needs to treat his child like that. also when the parents have mental problems or when the parent are drinking a lot.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #7030a0;">Laura: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> Child abuse is mainly caused when the parents split and step parents come. Also when the parents have mental problems, when they are in the power of drugs or alcoholism they start abusing their child and in most cases they don’t know what they are doing. Stress can also be a cause of child abuse, like the adult is overstressed they revenge with the child by hitting, burning and abusing them. There are another reasons like economic status of the family, the way that parents where educated or treated when they were younger.

**Tatiana:** There are many causes, some of them could be: - Unwanted or unexpected pregnancy - Don't knowing how to take care of a child - Cycle of violence (parents who were abused when they were young) - Poverty - Don't having any type of support - Problems in the marriage - Abuse of substances (Alcohol or drugs)

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;">__-CHANGE:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #7030a0;">Laura: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> We can’t exactly tell at what speed is child abuse increasing or decreasing, but what we know is that everyday people are finding more and more ways to torture or abuse a child. In Cali, we where one of the people who abused more a child physically but now days physical abuse has calm down and what is happening know is that lot of people are abandon ting their children (negligence). Yes, child abuse might be increasing but is because of none education to parents about how to correct their children and different ways of punishment without using violence.

We can't exactly tell at what speed is child abuse decreasing or increasing, or if it has changed over the years, but what we know is that people everyday are founding more and more ways to torture a child. In the U.S.A child abuse is reported on an averge of every 10 seconds, and 3 or 4 children die everyday of such abuse. 34 children under the age of 5 died of child abuse in 2004 and 2005.
 * Tatiana: ** In The Past they used the agression and violence as a way of discipline. no one ever saw it as a felony, and specially there were no laws against it.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;">__-CONNECTION:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0070c0;">mejia ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> child abuse is connected to alcohol or drugs because an ex is that if the adult is drunk he can treat the child bad without he knows he is doing that.., maybe when the child see his parents drinking when they are getting to the house he will think that is good so he will drink too.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #7030a0;">Laura: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> Child abuse has a connection on drugs and alcohol because when the kid see his parents arriving to their house drunk they will might have a trauma for watching his parents making all of those shows. Children might also be depressed thanks to see that their parents are in that bad state of health. Like this is happening the adult is not consent of what he is doing to his child so he don’t notice that he is abusing the child.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;">__-PERSPECTIVE:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">

the child point of vew, is that way is the dad hitting him if he has not do some thing bad.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0070c0;">mejia **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0070c0;">: <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> the aggresor point of view, is that he might be that he doing good or is the way the child might learn..mejia.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #7030a0;">Laura: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> I think that the aggressor P.O.V is that like he is superior to the kid he can do what he wants, meanwhile the child don’t know if what they are doing to him is good or not and if it is bad he doesn’t know how to defend himself towards a person that he knows and love.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: red;">-__RESPONSIBILITY:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0070c0;">mejia ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> we could tell the people that we can what is child abuse, the effects , and the causes also our responsability is to stop this, and to teach the people how to deffend when they are going to be abused.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #7030a0;">Laura: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> What we can do to stop or reduce child abuse is by teaching the people around us what is child abuse, how can they detect it, the effects and causes of child abuse, and how can they denounce it. we can also make people know the campaigns that international organizations like "Plan por la niñes" are doing and what is their mission. Also people need to know what would happen if we don’t stop this horrible problems and events that are happening thanks to child abuse.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;">__-REFLEXTION:__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">
 * Tatiana: ** What we could do is like kind of "spread the word" and make people knowldege about this problem, Making campaigns and letting people know what are the consecuences and effects on the society. Also making children know their rights, because if they don't know them they can't really tell if what the parent is doing is wrong. Also finding ways of help so they can know who to ask help!
 * <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #0043ff; font-size: 11.5pt;">mejia **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">: we can prove that child abuse is important filming someone being abuse, we need to stop it because each time they are more people abuse and it might be that some day is going to be our time to be abused
