“it is the justification of violence against children that distinguishes it from other types of violence in our society, and is an unspeakable disgrace. A large section of public opinion, as well as countless experts and intellectuals, who in other respects are educated, kind and understanding, maintain that a “timely smack” is not only acceptable, but recommendable: a useful “educational” tool that helps the victim become a better person. The victim is told: “It’s for your own good”, or even, the height of shamelessness: “It hurts me more than it hurts you.” No one, or no one living in a democracy at the beginning of the twenty-first century at any rate, would dare justify violence in this way if the victim were an adult.”

“We can invent a thousand excuses to hide this reality, but the fact is our society condemns violence, except when the victim is a child. If the victim is a child, and the aggressor another child, a teacher, or especially a parent, we will tolerate and sometimes applaud incredible amounts of violence.”

“É verdade, as crianças maltratadas convertem-se frequentemente, em pais que maltratam. Vários motivos contribuem para manter esta cadeia tão nefasta. Por um lado, a criança cresce sem conhecer outro modelo, outra maneira de ver as cosias, outra forma de educar. Cresce, também, com problema psicológicos fruto dos maus tratos recebidos, problemas como agressividade ou incapacidade de sentir qualquer tipo de empatia com o sofrimento alheio. Mas, também, e talvez sobretudo, a criança cresce com necessidade de justificar os pais. As crianças amam profundamente os pais e sentem obrigação de justificá-los. Tudo o que os meus pais fizeram foi bem feito. Se não bato aos meus filhos, é como se dissesse aos meus pais que eles fizeram mal quando me bateram.”
