"I want to be loved" It is a wish that every child has. But many do not see it fulfilled. What happens if a child suffers abuse? In this exciting video of cartoons in which we see how some children act with a doll: being violent.
In the end, we observe that the explanation for this behavior is that both children are victims of abuse. A video that puts the creeps, but that affects the issue of perpetuating violence, because children who have been abused are more likely to be abusers.
For this reason and for all the negative consequences for children, both physically and emotionally, we must avoid physical punishment and verbal and all kinds of violence in the relationship with our children. Because educating is not hitting, nor is it educated with screaming.
We see every day how these messages are still necessary, because many people see abuse as a method of education normal and this is despite the fact that it is considered a crime in many countries of the world. In others, unfortunately, it is still legally acceptable to hit a child.
"I want to be loved" is a video of the Inter-American Children's Institute and we leave you with the lyrics of the song that accompanies the images:
Look how I am, I am fragile. Don't treat me badly, don't hit me anymore. Let me feel, we can be friends. I feel what you feel. Look straight at me, I'm the same as you. Treat me like a child. If you give me love, it doesn't hurt anymore.
