UNICEF: 70% of Chinese Parents Emotionally Abuse Their Children
Jun 04, 2015 By eChinacities.com

67.1% of Chinese parents have emotionally abused their children, and nearly two-thirds of 3 to 6 year old Chinese children have been neglected by their parents, according to a new UNICEF report.

Child abuse in the East Asia and Pacific region costs nations an estimated $209 billion per year, or 2% of GDP.

UNICEF's report is the first on child abuse in the Asia-Pacific region.

The report was written by international experts, who examined previous studies of abuse and estimated the costs incurred. There have been earlier studies of child abuse using the same methodology in the United States and Australia.

The remaining one-third gets spoiled and joined the league of abusers before age 6.

Well known fact, the majority of victims turn into abusers when they are given the chance.

But... Who are emotionally retarded Chinese adults supposed to vent their insecurity and frustration upon, if not their children? Children are basically DESIGNED for this purpose: They don't understand why they are being abused, so instead of standing up for themselves, they will silently subsume the emotional punishment into their souls. And they're too small to be a physical threat, which makes them the perfect target for cowardly Chinese aggression. I mean, why would you abuse someone that can fight back? ----- In summary: Samsara demands that the West stops trying to promote anarchy by meddling in Chinese affairs.

If not the parents, then the teachers, or the classmates, or just about anyone. That's the way it is meant to work. Rational and properly raised/educated individuals wouldn't tolerate this society and the people in charge.
