Proposed redefinitions of child abuse

Many adults believe we have too many laws on child abuse already. That is the mantra of the anti-children's rights agenda. I myself am an anti-entitlement Christian conservative, and my core entitlement group is parents. Parental entitlement is something we all struggle with as adults, and is the core entitlement of all adults.

The Bible is very clear on what child abuse is. The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting things from or of children to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, or not caring about your imposing behavior towards children, leading to an offense perceived by a child. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to provocations to anger, meaning any and all offenses against children, as defined as the slightest of personal offenses perceived by the child. Whatever the child victim perceives as abuse objectively is under natural law, meaning God's Law.

Culpability under Christian law is divided into two parts, entitlement leading to theft, meaning the opposite. All theft is abuse, and all abuse is theft, and all theft, by default, comes from entitlement. All theft, by default, is a result of entitlement, in reverse coloration format. An apology immediately after the offense, to the child victim, is not abuse, as the entitlement aspect canceled out. Entitlement cannot be spotted in most cases without accompanying abuse/theft, with the exception of blatant rights defenses. Entitlement usually comes out as a rights statement for oneself. Demanding anything as a right onto somebody else can be entitlement, if it is a demand - just show that you are non-entitled enough to deserve your rights. Children have special rights because they are the least among us, and most vulnerable. Children get their rights for free, whereas an adult earns their rights, partially by treating children with respect.

A moral legal example of how relying on child victim perception works is in the case of a parent spanking their child. The moment the child feels pain from the angry strikes of the parent, God sees the every intent and action leading up to the offense against the child being part of the moral crime, as entitlement, and if you defend one item brought up in the divine investigation, it is as if you defended all of them, since they all come from the same entitled place. If you apologize for the spanking, that wipes the slate clean, meaning in the case of a spanking, it was abuse, but the situation is resolved, as long as the habit is struggled against on the level of tears. In another case, a parent might say "no", but if the parent reassures the child in an apologetic way, and also give the child a chance to deny what you want by saying it nicely. Many times, the child does, whereas in that case all you can do is keep the child safe.

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values, and thus the child abuse definitions in our laws should reflect how child abuse was dealt with in the Bible. Currently, child abuse definitions are dependent on an act or failure to act leading to an injury of some sort, with that injury being tangible and measurable, all this to protect the rights of parents. Anything that offended a child or made them feel unsafe was abuse, at the very least by default. Only an apology can stop the legal motions from moving. This would include spanking and corporal punishment.

Under the law today here in Pennsylvania, all victims of domestic violence (DV) have the right to protection from abuse once they perceive offense from their spouse or significant other. That should be the case for domestic violence against children (DV against C). Domestic violence against children includes spanking and other forms of corporal punishment, as well as verbal and emotional abuse, at minimum.

Let the depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger BURN! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
