I need answers

Why is abuse all of a sudden okay when it's coming from a child as if children cannot be abusive?

I read your responses. It seems to me that you hate working with children, and you cannot handle their insolence to which you refer as “abuse”, and you despise the fact that they get away with it, unlike adults. Well, you seem to lack empathy and compassion for someone whose job is to teach children. Children still need plenty of time to grow and change; they hardly understand what they’re doing, and they’ll most likely feel sorry for their bad behaviors once they’re properly educated and disciplined. Adults, on the other hand, are way past that point. That’s why the law doesn’t punish “abusive” young children the same as abusive adults. They just simply don’t deserve it for doing something they don’t understand. In most cases, children who were born and raised in a dysfunctional family tend to be problematic, but that doesn’t mean they cannot change with a bit of compassion and proper guidance by good adults. Hating on them, like you are now, will just turn them into resentful and abusive adults later in life.

Of course I’m speaking of this without touching on the issue of mental illness, which is a completely different thing of its own.
