Any abuse of a child is unforgivable in my book. whether it be emotional, mental or physical. There should be a seperate hell for people who abuse children in any way.
Abuse a child and I'm the abuser's worst enemy! I know. I've been there. The mother of my kids, the ex, was an abuser. She got caught by the police and sent into forced counseling, but it still didn't stop her.
What kind of abuse are you speaking about, Bobby? We kids were verbally abused, hit with objects (long-handled wooden spoon, hairbrush), slapped in the face, and had our mouths washed out with soap. Would you call this abuse?
Pedophiles and child abusers, people who prey on the helpless. Unforgiveable.
I did Volunteer work at Cedar House in Long Beach, CA (Child Abuse Center) made me sick to see the Abuse that Parent's did to their own Children !!

Pedophiles and child abusers. I can't comprehend how anyone could derive sexual pleasure from violating a child. I also don't understand how a person could physically abuse a child.
I think we were raised in a generation where most of us probably got a spanking or a light switching, and by today's standards that would probably be considered abuse. To me that is a very different thing from physically torturing and beating a child in any way, unless the spanking or switching was taken to extremes..
Anyone who takes of Kids, the elderly, or the disabled. Hanging is way too good for them. Unless there's barbed wire involved.
On a personal level isn't forgiving an act done by the forgiver for their own benefit? A way to let go of the wrong that was done to them so that they can move on and start to heal? I don't think the forgivee even has to be considered in pure forgiveness. Is anyone really capable of pure forgiveness...I am not sure.
yes TN....if we can't forgive it will only hurt us....it will eat you alive....we have to forgive...for us...not the person that is wrong.
Abusers of children, women or the weak are hard to forgive. Strangely enough I found that I could forgive the boy, he was 17, who killed my son because I realised that he was a victim too. This boy was killed by my ex who came on the scene but he was first a victim of those who were spurring him on to commit crime. I find it hardest to forgive those in authority and in government who neglect their responsibilities to those who can't look after themselves. And I find it totally impossible to forgive the leaders who send young men and women to war. I know that most of you won't agree with me, but that's how I see it. War, for whatever reason, is the greatest crime against humanity.
