Dear Steemians,
On today voiceless/defencelesss, i want to share about child abandonment in the world today.
Child Abandonment:
From different definition of the word "abandonment"
We can define it in diverse way but I will rather explain the abandonment in my own view.
Abandonment is typically refers to a parent's choice to willfully withhold physical, emotional, and financial support from a minor child.
Child abandonment occurs when a parent, guardian, or person in charge of a child either deserts a child without any regard for the child's physical health, safety or welfare and with the intention of wholly abandoning the child, or in some instances, fails to provide necessary care for a child living under their roof.
In other words:
Abandonment occurs when the parent fails to fulfill his or her parental responsibilities and chooses not to have contact with his or her child.
Parental abandonment is not limited to non-custodial parents, either. Sometimes parents with sole custody —even those who have fought hard in court to win child custody —have also been accused of abandoning their children.
Why Do Parents Abandon?
The most common question is, "How could a parent do that?" Sadly, parents who abandon their children often do so because they believe they are ill-equipped to provide the emotional and financial stability the child needs.
It's common to blame this on the previous generation's ability to parent (or lack thereof), and yet it's not true that all parents who abandon were mistreated, ignored, or neglected during their young age.
Certainly, we see examples in our enviromment every blessed day, parents who were neglected or abused, and yet later become loving, committed parents. So these types of generalizations don't hold up when examined more closely.
Subject Matter to be "discuss: is child abandonment an Abuse to children who were abandon one way or the others?
