#1 Child Abuse
1. I consider child abuse as the mistreatment of a child
that can lead to safety issues, health issues including death. It is serious physical,
emotional or sexual abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
2. No, I don’t think spanking is child abuse. The culture I was
raised in, it was acceptable. It was never look on as wrong but a rightful
discipline. There are other people out there who take it to the extreme, where
they spank or whoop the child till the child bleeds proclaiming it was right
from their point of view or the bible said so, which will be taking completely
out of context. That situation is no longer discipline but have cross the line
to child abuse.
A. No.
What I think is that neither the government nor the state should try to
specifically classify it as allowed or un-allowed because, like I said before,
to some it’s culture-base. We all know right from wrong, we all have morals, we
all had parents. Surely we can identify what is and what is not abuse; from the
ones that never been abused to the ones that had. They could very well identify
that there’s something wrong. Every word that comes out of a child mouth should
not be taking lightly, every child that has an emotional change, of happy to sad,
should not be passed without consideration. There’s a fine line between discipline
and child abuse.
3. Punishment should be a public concern when a person is
frequently chastening the child, frequently threatening the child of
punishment, seemingly not aware of the child presence. There’s a time when we need to speak up, when
we need to step in and intervene, because it no longer rest on the idea that we’re
telling you how to raise your child but the fact that the child is a human
being without the full knowledge or comprehension necessary yet to be judge or
ridicule in such a manner.
1. There
are not certain acts I feel that it’s acceptable punishment because all of them
can be taking to the extreme. But slap on the hand
2. Unacceptable
act can be the vigorous pulling, shaking of the child, hitting the child with
excessive force. I think people in our society feels and know when there’s
something wrong but they usually dismiss the feeling, or the thought, and keep
on with their lives. That is what we have to change.
#2 Sexual
victimization
4.
Arkansas’s child pornography law is any person
that persuades, employs, uses, entice or coerce a child to engage in visual or
print medium that is sexually explicit also any person that knowingly produce,
direct and promote child pornography. They can face up to 30 years sentencing.
Knowingly involve in the
distribution of child pornography or possession of a child engaging in sexual
act face up to 10 years.
All of these are felonies followed
by being place in the sex offender registry. Class C for first offenders and
Class B for subsequent offenders.
If a person fail to report
computer child pornography is Class A misdemeanor
*A child is consider to be under
the age of 17

5. Sexting
A. Sexting, in Arkansas, is not classify
separately. It is still child pornography, therefore the same punishment. It is a felony, it is 10 years of prison if
knowing advertise, distribute, display or receive with intent to sell and 30
years if coerce child to be involve. If found guilty than individual will have
to be register in sex offender registry.
B. Sexting
is the sending of sexually implicit pictures of someone through mobile.
C. Yes,
I think it should be punished. For the offender, it is still distribution of
child pornography if the victim is under 17. I don’t think they should be
punished severely, because sexting usually happens between the young, but they
should be fined heavily and be subjected to community service for first time
offenders. For the victim, if the individual was not drunk and didn’t know the
picture was taking than they should be let off with warning and be giving
better life decision skills.
6. In Malvern, Arkansas Tom Buck Steele, 60, was found guilty
of child pornography. He is sentence to 164 years in prison along with a fine
of $56,000. He was charged on 20 counts; he’s serving 10 years on two counts
and 8 years on 18 counts. He has been under investigation since 2011. When they
did search his place they found computers containing many pictures of child
pornography. For the trial he pleaded not guilty but, after a two day trial, on
March 28 of this year, the jurors found him guilty.
7. Child victimization is different because it involves
children. Children are usually the ones that are less heard. Even when they
speak up, no one listen, because they’re young and everyone seems to have the
idea that they don’t know any better.
8. Fallen angels (1981) is about a young girl who develop a
relationship with this man who I older than her. The man is a pedophile and he promises
her that she will be a ‘start’. He soon persuaded her to start posing for him
with each time making her reveal more and more.
John Shearen is considered the number one child porn
distributor by police in state history. He was just recently been arrested in
Leesburg, Florida and police found close to about a 1 million images and videos
of child . As of right now he’s charge with 15 counts but the police department
wants to add more.
