Finding The Best Child Abuse Speakers

By Rosella Campbell


It is said that the best teachers are those who have lived and experienced the subject they are in charge of teaching. That is certainly true of situations that mold our lives and make us who we are as adults. When an organization is looking for someone to do a presentation regarding the cycle of violence they may be looking to find child abuse speakers who have lived the cycle and survived.

When exploring their histories you will find that they endured the worst kind of treatment at the hands of their parents or other care givers. Children of abusive parents learn how to survive at a very young age. Many suffer beatings, starvation, emotional and even sexual mistreatment and develop strategies for survival that serve to shelter them emotionally and sometimes prevent the mistreatment from happening.

The abuse does not have to come from biological parents. Many times children are removed from one abusive home only to find themselves in another abusive situation at the hands of a foster parent. The abuses can come from siblings or step parents, close relatives or even their neighbors. Most children in these situations know instinctively that speaking about their plight will cause more beatings or abuses to occur and so much of the time these crimes go unreported.

Some victims shut the experience in the back of their minds and never deal with it. Others continue the cycle of violence and are abusive to their own families. Some victims use their life experiences as a blue print for others to follow into recovery from the effects caused by being abused as children. They have found understanding and desire to pass that knowledge along to others who have been in the same situation in their lives.

These individuals use their experience, strength and hope to motivate other victims to start moving through the pain and grief that they endured to reach a balanced existence where they can pursue their goals without carrying the burden of the abuses they endured. The main motivators they use is the success they have had in their lives.

By using the abuses of their life to become stronger they have been able to create lives lead by self reliant actions, pursuing literacy and the means to improve their lives and the lives in their communities and society as a whole. By using the strength and tools used as children they share the way they have overcome learned behaviors and reached the goals they have reached today.

Many speakers use this knowledge to educate police and other protective agencies by doing presentations at special training events or conferences attended by social services workers throughout the nation. This problem is one of the invisible crimes that takes place at home where no one is a witness except the victims. Through their insight they hope to offer new solutions for those involved in preventing this problem. One invaluable service they can provide is helping to identify red flag behaviors that protective agencies may not be aware of in children or family dynamics.

The goal of these advocates is to help stop the cycle of violence in families around the world. They share their stories with their audiences and help others to find solutions to their own private dilemmas. They believe that they have an obligation to those still suffering abuses to speak for them when they cannot speak for themselves.
