Problems of increasing single mothers in advanced countries

I’d like to shed light on child abuse on this topic. Child abuse has been increasing among young mothers. According to one statistics, 60% of child abuse was done by mother. One possible cause would be to extremely pursuit their own benefit. Here are two aspects here.

First, recently, women have played important roles in our society and they pursue their own career. They can’t afford to take care of their children and emotionally handle them. resort to excessive physical punishment. For example, my wife is school nurse at elementary school. Three child abuse cases hit the school. In all three cases, mothers have own job and don’t have any mental leeway. It seems that there is strong correlation between child abuse and women in business world.

Second, mothers lack of their responsibilities and don’t know how to handle kids. I was shocked by one report that reports 23 children die last 8 years in leaving a child in a car. For example, one child left in a car at Pachinko polar without any air conditioner died from heat exhaustion. Temperature in a car could reach at 50 or 60 degree on hot summer day. I believe that these cases are good evidence to verify the lack of parent’s responsibility.

In conclusion, the lack of parent’s responsibility and the lack of knowledge how to raise children are significant social problems.
