Youth
violence due to child abuse exposes youth to harmful behaviours that can start
early and continue into young adulthood. Children who get are abused through
being a witness to violence engage in different violent behaviour to emulate
what they had always experience. Examples of these behaviours towards others
include bullying, slapping, or hitting another person which can cause emotional
or physical harm to others. Children who witness severe cases of child abuse
have the tendency to engage in armed robbery, arson, murder, etc. (Golden,
2009).
