Domestic violence is a serious issue in today's society that is often overlooked. It affects people of all ages, races, and sexes, yet still, not many people know anything about it. There are many different types of Domestic violence in families. They include child abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and physical abuse; all of which are very traumatic for the victims involved.
             Child abuse is one of the top types of violence that is often left unknown. The reason it is never reported is that often, the child being abused is scared to tell an authority. In many cases, the abuser would threaten the child. In other cases, the abuser would tell the child that it was their fault they were being beaten.

Sexual abuse is described as any kind of sexual contact or communication that leaves the person feeling violated, hurt, or violated. You may ask what provokes the violator to do such a thing? Many studies show that 33% of the offenders had been sexually abused as a child. This means that they learned of the abuse when they were younger and maybe thought that was the only way to do it. This can be a real problem and lead to very dangerous outcomes.
