Re: Child abuse
In order to change, first we need to work with the parents. we need to explain them that corporal punishment is not acceptable. Moreover, we need to help them change their belief and habit in disciplining their children. We should tell and introduce them other ways in disciplining children beside corporal punishment. Not to mention, we need more contribution from the police. I guess even though the police saw you were beating your children, he would just do nothing.Jacobincambodia wrote:What will it take to change?

However, the act of beating children still seem to be pretty normal amongst many Cambodians escially among the poor and middle class families and mainly the uneducated parents. it is like the only way they could think of to discipline their children. No matter how many Ngos are working against the violence on children and a number of promotions to end children violence are being done by all means, it still doesn't make any different in Cambodian society.
If i said i have never been beaten by my parents, i was completely lying. Since i was young, i was beaten many times by my dad. He is an alcoholic. So, everytime he was drunk, he always felt uncomfortable and unstatified with everything and he beat me with no reason. i was beaten by stick, whip and stingray tail. Everytime he beat me, he always said that i am Cambodian not America. So, i couldn't report it to police and the police would also not come to arrest him. He added, here is Cambodia and it doesn't have law in which parents can't discipline their children by beating. i believed that almost every Cambodian experienced this.
I think you have made a right dicision for not to involve. i guess even though you involved the situation would be the same. Sometime it might draw you into trouble. Better just let them be or report it to the police.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Child abuse
Like I said. I got the belt n hairbrush plenty. Didn't phase me. Taking away my game boy or whatever I liked was 10 times worse. I was an ADD kid so I couldn't sit still. I still remember begging for a spanking instead of a 1 week grounding.
I'll give ya 500 Riel for it...

Re: Child abuse
It need to take time to educate Cambodians to understand how parents effect on their children. And how to deal with it.Children need 3Ps (provision, protection and participation). When i was child , i wish i could grow up fast then my parents would listen to my vioce.
