comparisons to brothers and sisters, and so on. These children accept this treatment because they are too helpless and inexperienced to stand up for themselves. Should we simply walk past an obviously abusive situation? At exactly what point should we step in? Should we wait until the child is the victim of a severe physical assault? But assault takes many forms. That emotional abuse leaves no outward scars should not excuse us from helping these children. Those of us who can recognize damaging treatment have an obligation to step in.
There is one more reason for intervening that is nearly always overlooked in these discussions, but which I consider to be the most significant: the lifelong effect it can have on the child. Many adults in counseling sessions still recall with gratitude the one time that a stranger stepped in on their behalf, and how much it meant: that someone cared, and that the child's feelings of anger and frustration were recognized and accepted. These adults have stated to me that this one intervention changed their lives and gave them hope. Are we to bypass the opportunity to make such a big difference in the life of a child?
Even in the unfortunate --- and hopefully rare --- case where the parent is offended, the intervention may still act as a reminder to the parent to be more attentive to the nature of their interactions with their child.
Psychiatric case histories clearly show that today’s psychopathic adults were yesterday's hurt children. There is no time machine we can take to help yesterday’s children. But we can help today's children to become secure and responsible adults who will treat their own children with dignity, love, and compassion. 65.
