Most parents love their children and don't do it for sadistic purposes but out of despair. They are either incapable of getting their children to shape up through explaining things or they just don't have the time to do it. If you are from a poor country and mere survival takes up all your time, you sometimes just can't explain but have to take the short route by physically punishing your children. Especially if life has already humiliated you and numerous sorts of violations of human rights are part of your life, you don't think about the rights of your children.Ibrahim4048noreply@blogger.com
