Every country should introduce laws that forbid abuse. Every adult should be informed that
children are also human beings.
This could result in happier adults who wouldn’t have to drench their supposed
childhood tragedies in alcohol or do drugs “to survive” If you love your
children and show this by taking good care of them; hug them and not abuse them, would there be criminal people in society writes Alice Miller in the article The Childhood Trauma. Miller imply that children who gets abused from the first day in life, for example Hitler and other dictators, gets an underdeveloped brain and can not develop the human abilities such as empathy and compassion for others. The fears and frights the abuse create, is compiled in the body like unconscious memories and drives the person to commit destructive deeds later.Children who got abused and never had a so called helping witness, a person who couldn’t protect the child from the abuse but who liked the child and therefore could show it love, seems to become criminals suggest Miller. As in Aldof Hitler’s case, he was mercilessly abused every day by his father. His mother could not protect him, she was also abused, and one can therefore understand this was the compiling childhood-fright that drove Hitler to his attempt to protect his country, which symbolised him self, from the evil, which was represented by the Jews. This explanation does not legitimate his actions but shows what child-abuse can lead to. So let the society be a helping witness thanks to laws that forbid abuse, so that all people can live and grow up in a peaceful environment without fear and criminality.
