I personally choose this article because to
me it is sad to know that is reported that in the last decade, the crimes of
physical and sexual assault have increased, in the United States are reported
more than 80,000 cases a year of sexual abuse of children, but the number of
cases that are not reported is even greater, since children are afraid to tell
someone what happened to them, and the legal process to verify reports is
difficult. The problem exists and must be identified to put an end to the abuse
and the child should receive professional help. The physical and emotional harm
in the long term can be devastating.
Ethos
is demonstrated by the research conducted by Dr. Eduardo R. Hernandez Gonzalez
Pediatrician and Child Behavioral psychotherapist by interviewing several children
that has suffer a sexual assault
For logos I think Sexual abuse occurs in
three contexts: Domestic: is when it occurs in the family at the hands of a
father, a stepfather, sibling or other relative. Family: when away from home
for a friend, the caregiver, a teacher, or a stranger. Commercial Sexual
Exploitation: when the child is subjected to sexual practices for economic
benefit of an adult according to Dr. Eduardo.
This article also demonstrated pathos when
Dr. Hernandez said that some of these kids had been persuaded or threatened not
to talk. Because of shame or guilt, if they believe accomplices or that has
caused the facts. They think that no one is going to believe or that are going
to be punished for that. Also he said this depend on the age of the abused, the
type of link with the abuser and the societal perceptions about children and
sexuality. And here are some reasons for the silence: there is no old enough to
understand what is happening. Don't know express with words what happened.
In conclusion it remains only say that the best crime prevention
is to remember that our children are our responsibility, and that we must have
on them adequate supervision, an appropriate system of open communication and
be attentive to any change of conduct not expected for their age.
I can see why this article would be easy to dissect but it seems rather sad. But that's pathos for you. I liked how you tied everything together.
