The worst child abusers are the child's parents.

Villas - The worst child abusers are the child's parents. They make the child seem like they caused the abuse on themselves. The child becomes angry and withdrawn and eventually damaged for life. The second worst abuser is the Division of Youth and Family Services that turn their back on the abused child. They decide that the person who cares about the child and reports the abuse is a liar. In doing so, they are part of the abuse too, as they walk away and leave that child without hope and with no means of safety.
