In recent years, detailed reports have been published about children who have died as a result of abuse. Detailed reports have made it clear that abuse has a negative impact not only at the time but also in the future. One of these negative effects is detention in juvenile classification homes and juvenile prisons. The majority of boys and girls detained in these facilities were abused by their parents as they grew up. In many cases, the abusive caregivers had no one to consult with. They were parents in a weak position who raised their children without consulting anyone. Abuse was committed by the socially vulnerable in families isolated from society. Simply emphasizing motherhood will only push the caregiver into a corner. It has become clear that abuse cannot be reduced without the perspective of raising children as a whole society.
A hint to reducing abuse was found in a Brazilian television survey. A research survey on the correlation between television viewing and “depression” was conducted on more than 60,000 Brazilian adults. The survey found that there was a correlation between watching more than five hours a day and the risk of developing depression. Watching TV all day makes you feel isolated, which makes you feel even more depressed and leads to depression. There was another group at high risk of developing depression. They were people who watched less than an hour of TV a day. These people were poor and too busy with work to have time to watch TV leisurely. The reason they were at high risk of developing depression was due to a lack of free time. It could also be said that it was due to the extreme stress of everyday life. What we can see from the Brazilian survey is that a better prescription for prisoners who repeat crimes is a stable life.
Abuse is often committed by socially vulnerable people in families isolated from society. Poverty often isolates families from the community. Emphasizing motherhood only pushes the caregiver into a corner. The majority of delinquent boys and girls grow up in harsh family environments. The majority of boys and girls in juvenile classification homes and juvenile prisons are raised with abuse. If the family had economic security, abuse might stop. In order to reduce crime, it seems necessary to have the awareness that raising children is a social responsibility. We want to realize such a society.
