Child Beating Cases Here Rare, Difficult By DOUGLAS HUFF We live in a child-centered culture — so the often told story goes. And yet, a discussion in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out, physical abuse of children by their parents is on the increase in most areas of the nation. The "battered child syndrome," in fact, is estimated to be one of the most frequent causes of child death. Only a small percentage of such tragedies are officially reported in their true guise. No matter how plain the medical evidence, the facts are extremely difficult to establish 100 per cent in a court of law, reports the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association. Not so in Anaheim reports Sgt. Everill L. Heston of the Juvenile Division of the Anaheim Police Department. We investigate about 12 cases per year and prosecute maybe about a third,” Heaton said. "I can't recall any this year when we've been able to get sufficient evidence to take action.” Sgt. Heaton told the zette. “The major thing we investigate is reports of unhomes.” Hard to Face “When we do get reports of child beatings, they are usually called to our attention by idiots, hospitas and neighbors he reports.

Heaton agrees with the mazine and TB association ity is a fact of life diffifor most of us to face. Yet who do face it grow increasingly aware that abusive parents aren't criminals in the ordinary sense. They are basically disturbed, in need of protection against themselves. Motives What makes them beat their children? Psychiatrists have found that patterns of childrearing are passed from one generation to another. Many abusive parents find themselves willy-nilly repeating the treatment they recieved. Psychologiically, they are still angry children. When life is too difficult, they often can't help acting like angry children. They break their dolls. The majority of abusive parents don't suffer from "hopeless" mental disorders. Nor do social or economic status, race or religion appear to be im­portant factors. Abusive par­ents are generally found to be immature, unable to cope with adult reality. But in general, they can be helped. Most authorities agree with the TB and Health Association, that psychological coun-seling in fact seems to offer the most hopeful pathway to correction of this tragic situation. More hopeful, at any rate, than yield­ing to attitudes of revulsion, disbelief, or irrelevant wrath.
