Homes, jobs, and dreams have been lost. The underlying emotion during difficult economic times is fear and fear often leads to aggression. While socio-economic status is not an automatic indicator of abuse or neglect, how a family copes with economic stressors is a clear indicator. A family that focuses on hope instead of loss is less likely to abuse or neglect their children and more likely to manage the economic stressors successfully.
Fewer people have access to medical care than in the past. Physical pain and trauma can become a considerable factor, especially when the family has no resources to obtain the medical care necessary to meet their needs. The parent grieves for the future the disable child will not have and sometimes resents the child for the loss of those dreams.
Cranky, colicky children or children that cry excessively make it harder for the parental bond to develop. And, without that bond, becoming abusive is easier. Very young parents often lack the reasoning skills and experience that comes with maturity. Aging parents, or grandparents serving the role of parents, have less energy and may be living on a fixed income. Their expectations of young children may be out dated and can lead to conflict with younger adolescents—conflicts that can quickly escalate into abuse.
Children that were abused too frequently grow to become abusive. While none of these factors taken individually guarantee that abuse will occur, these factors seldom appear as a single contributor to abuse or neglect. Communities can work together to offer resources such as parent education, food banks, job re-training, drug and alcohol rehab with a goal of reducing child abuse and neglect. Resources need to be made available through a wide-variety of avenues including visits to the home, on-line training, and centralized community support agencies.
While no single community program can meet all of the needs for all of the people, coordinated efforts could help meet the needs of a greater number of people.
