What do you think goes on in the parents mind when they beat the kid??

Well, I was beaten by my mother when I was in the 1st grade... for a bad grade on my report card. I had black and blue bruises and several cuts on my legs and torso where she had beaten me. My dad decided to take action and taught her a lesson ( he didnt dare touch her though ). I was forced to wear a jacket and jeans in the Spring to hide the markings. I wanna know what the hell went through her mind when she did that to her defenseless little girl......

I too grew up in abuse and it sickens me that any human being can do that to a child and lie down and sleep at night. So, in my opinion, nothing goes through their mind because they have no mind for anything to go through! Nor do they have a heart, a soul or a conscience!

    There is really no way for me to answer that. I was sexually, physically, and emotionally abuse from age 6 until age 16. I still to this day do not have any idea of what was going through my fathers mind. I wish I could get up the nerve to ask him. But, I just don't have the courage yet. I will pray for you.

    I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I was an elementary teacher, before I began staying home with my own kids. I still think of several of them today, kids we (other teachers and myself) would have liked to get out of their homes, but there was little that could be done without hard evidence of abuse or neglect. As many children as there are in the foster system, there are more who should be removed from their homes and placed in save homes. It is a problem that too often get over looked. I'm glad you are in a save place now. I hope you heal.

    Answered I dunno.... all i can say is that shes mental for doing that.

    I'm sorry you had to experience that. That is horrible.
    She most likely thinks it's normal. Was she abused herself ? There is a great line in a song about child abuse. "But she's blind to the difference/what's taught is what's know" I don't remember the singer, but I think it was called "The Rights Of The Children". The woman who sung it is a great singer. I wish I could remember her name.

    Something is not right in people's heads when they are able to beat innocent children with no remorse. I am very sorry that you had to experience that.

    I'd say not too much thinking going on at all....No one who had a brain for thinking would do such things.

    What I don't like is why can't that woman at least dicipline you by being grounded, or confiscating electronics, OR SOMETHING OTHER THAN PHYSICALY HURTING A 6 YEAR OLD!!! =( Imean, maybe a parent may wanna slap their teenager for not passing the SATs or something... but a poor defensless 6 year old? I'm sorry but your mother is mentally ill.

    If we could figure that out, then the foster care would be cut in half. I wouldn't mind going back to police work either.

    First, I am sorry that happened to you, second, I hope she is done and you do not suffer this physical abuse any longer. Third, I pray you are able to forgive her, as I think this is the only way you will ever move on. There was a book, (true story) written by Dave Pelzer, A Child Called It I cried hysterically when I read this book, then I smiled and thanked God when I got to the end of it. This man has told his story so that others might not suffer the same abuse he did. I suggest that you visit his web site. I did not experience this type of abuse and I do not abuse, so I cannot even begin to tell you why soemone would do this, but perhaps insight can be found by going to a person that has suffered and was able to move on. I pray that you are well and that your mother has never done this again. http://www.davepelzer.com/

    I can't possibly begin to understand what goes on in the mind of people who inflict abuse upon innocent, helpless little children. Thank God I can't understand that! I don't want to be able to understand that kind of mindset. I was sexually, physically and mentally abused as a child by my sister's father. For 3 years. I even saw him put a gun to my mom's head at the age of 6....that's something that you never forget. I have a child now and I could never imagine any of those horrible things happening to her....I won't let them. I have devoted my life to protecting her so that she will never ever have to experience that kind of terror.

    I have not a clue .............
    I am glad you have lived through this and all is OK now.
    Stay Strong and live your live for you. You are on your way to becoming an adult.
    Do whats right, and do not let this hold you back from doing anything in life.
    This was her very sick problem , not yours.
    You do not always get to pick you parents.
    But you do have a choice in living a wonderful life , with out the abuse.
  • raves +3   [-] Gerard's Little Vampire replied to Veronica
    lol yeah... sadly... but heres a saying.. " You have to have a liscense to drive, even to catch a fish!! But you don't have to have one to be a good parent?? " that i will live with for ever
  • raves +2   [-] Veronica replied to Gerard's Little Vampire
    Yes , I know , Just dont live with this but learn from it.
    Please do not let her , ...and I am not sure what to call it,
    her crap , to keep hurting you on the inside.
    Write a letter to her telling exactly how you feel about what she has put you through and what it has done to you.
    How this had made you feel growing up.
    Send it or dont sent it.
    But in this letter be Brutally Honest in your feelings.
    This , will help YOU.
    After writing this you may not give a rats about her,
    but this will help with what you are feeling.
    And that's what is most important here.
    Your feelings not hers.
    But write this down to get it out .
    Don't let this keep taking up space in your head.
    I realy hope this helps kiddo *-*
    I truly believe doing this will . Get it all out.
    It will be a bit hard at first and emotional.
    But once you do this.
    You will feel much better *-*
