These are words of Donna Hedges, but how daunting are these words to children who have had violence visited upon them by the very people charged with the responsibility of providing care, love and protection to them? Sadly, many families hinged on the brink of collapse use children as a shield, ruining the juvenile life. From the moment they are born children depend on parents and family for protection and their needs. Summarily, when families are torn, the children stand to suffer psychological distress and trauma. Undeniably, teachers are likely to meet dejected and disillusioned children, majority of whom might resort to unruliness, truancy or other weird misdemeanour, as an escape from reality.
