Biography
This ebook had its beginnings a few years ago, submitted as an essay towards a psychology degree at Massey University, NZ. Today I remain alarmed at the high rates of child homicide in many countries, particularly in my home country, New Zealand. I believe that with a lot of heart and much hard work, regardless of what country we live in, we can reduce the levels of abuse and reduce the homicide rates for children in our communities.
I have seen firsthand the results of a child brought up in a violent family. I can only hope that more and more families will realise that children cannot be expected to grow into healthy, fully functioning adults if they are exposed to severe physical punishment, mental cruelty, sexual abuse and neglect.
