Children's
Wheels - "Both men and women abuse children, but statistically men are responsible for more of the most serious cases, and women abused by their male partner may in turn abuse their children. This does not justify women abusing children, but recognises that men's violence against women is closely linked to child abuse. Children who are frightened and traumatised suffer from health, development, and emotional problems. Children's brain development is affected greatly by trauma. Chronic anxiety creates chemicals in their brains which interrupt learning abilities. A
child's intellectual, emotional and psychological ability is shaped
by what it sees, hears, and how they make sense of it. Experiencing
and witnessing abuse prevents children from reaching their potential
as adults." From the Domestic Violence Center in Auckland
