Child abuse

The last few days I have read article after article about seriously bad child abuse.
The little baby boy of 17 months old that must have had a 17 month hell of torture, his back was broken, 8 ribs broken, fingertips cut off, nails missing. And nobody noticed anything? It could just go on?
The child had been in the hospital, with the doctor, everything.

The a 21 year old mother who has probably murdered her own baby and toddler. Details still have to come out.

Then in the US a child beaten to death because it wet its bed?

And then the Fritzl case.

It makes me think again. I have read enough books of Alice Miller to know that these people doing it to their own children were abused themselves. I am fairly sure that the mother of the 17 month old baby unconciously wanted help, because she did visit medical professionals, who in my mind were negligent.
They should have picked up on it and helped both mother and baby adequately. Mother needed psychological help to deal with her own childhood trauma, because the state she was in now was obviously lethal to her own child.
But obviously those professionals were too damaged themselves to be able to pick up on it.

Then the mother who killed her own children, same thing, she obviously was too traumatized to handle it all.

Beating a child to death for wetting its bed. I wonder how those parents were treated as children.

And then Mr. Fritzl, well in the meantime I have read enough about his childhood to know that he had a rotten one and turned out to be the tyrant he is because of that.

What makes me so immensely sick with this all is that in our western civilization we keep excusing people and locking people up who do stuff like that. Only a few people really want to make sure this stops with informing people on what the reasons are for people going down that horrible road, but those are often enough not heard, as the majority of people do NOT WANT to hear it. They do not want to know that their own parents screwed up badly or that they themselves are screwing up as well as parents and are breeding violence with their parenting styles.
Of course we all have to hide that behind the stupid theories of how children are second class citizens and have to be disciplined and all that other crap.
We can do to children that cannot be done to adults because its against human rights.

What makes a parent have the right to smack a child, when its assault when you smack another adult and you could be jailed for that? Why not when you smack a child?
How did we come so crazy that those things can happen to such sensitive young people, who are still learning from us and need to learn what is right, not what is wrong. We should sherish these little human beings as they are still so open to influences etc.
It makes me want to scream it out loud to everybody who does something like that. There are so many examples in history of what can happen with the normally accepted parenting style, but its soooo wrong.
But, no I don't, I only talk to people who do want to hear it, because its "not done" to tell other people that they are parenting their children in an abusive way.
I keep seeing it happen around me and it makes me really really sad.
