The study shows that physical, emotional, and latent violence has been experienced and entailed different consequences. Mental illness, in the shape of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts is an outcome of violence. Even feelings of guilt and shame as well as non-healthy ways to regulate feelings, such as self-injurious behavior, substance abuse, eating disorders, and obsessions. The hardships in managing these consequences could also lead to inferior results in school, deteriorated work opportunities, and an impact on relations with others. The study has also identified risk factors such as a parent's substance abuse and/or mental illness and personal factors of the child, such as a psychiatric diagnosis. Some protective factors have also appeared, although the lack of protective factors has been more remarkable. This shows the importance of paying close attention to any appearing risk factors and working towards the strengthening of protective factors. It is important that society stands together and helps children in need. (Less)
