What arethe advantages and disadvantages of child abuse?

CONS: Scarring children for life, living with the fact that a loved one you know is being abused/is abusing a child, deteriorating that child's self-esteem and idea of self-worth, abusing and deteriorating a child's trust and love in the abuser that might have previously connected, etc.

PROS:

Honestly, I don't have a single idea how child abuse could affect anyone positively. I don't think there *are* any pro's to child abuse, period.
