Children affected by Domestic abuse.(Ethos,Pathos,Logos)

Every year about 3.3 million children witness violence in their own homes. Out of those 3.3 million children, 75% of then end up being physically hurt by the abuser. The problem with these statistics is that the majority of these kids will end up traumatized and also the majority of them will end up becoming the abuser or a victim again in their future relationship. If the statistics are not scary enough, only about10% of the victims will seek professional help or help from the proper authorities creating the though in the children that violence is perfectly ok. People should not allow any kid to witness such violence at home, although there is an enormous amount of violence in the streets, nothing traumatizes a kid as much as them witnessing their loved ones being affected by it. Many might have children now or will have children in the future and I'm sure non of you will want your children to suffer any king of emotional or physical trauma from their own parents.

    1. There does not seem to be any claims that seem weak or unsupported, but I would suggest that the author provide the source or sources from which he or she got the statistics.

    2. The author states that nothing traumatizes a kid more than witnessing their loved ones being affected by domestic abuse. I would have to question that claim because there are many other horrible things that can happen that may have an even more adverse effect on a child.

    3. No I don't because I don't think there is anything to hide on this subject.
