Finding Paragraph #2

My third essential question that I came up with was, "What traumatic events trigger insanity in the mind?" The quote that I found to go with this question was, "While emotional abuse is difficult to detect, children affected by it do exhibit noticeable trauma reactions. Some of the signs and manifestations include destructive behavior [fire setting or animal cruelty], poor self-esteem, insecurity and anxiety, developmental delays, drug abuse, emotional withdrawal, inability to form relationships, and even suicidal thoughts. In brief, psychologically maltreated children grow up believing they are deficient and defective in some way. It is easy to understand that without intervention, these children eventually may become parents who continue the cycle of emotional abuse with their own children years later." (Malchiodi). This quote connects to my essential question because it explains the traumatic effects that go on after a child has been abused or neglected. I got this quote from one of my sources wordpress.com. Another one of my essential questions was, "Why do people choose to abuse their loved ones?" A source that I thought connected to this question was also wordpress.com however, I used a completely different quote. The quote stated that the parent of the abused child abuses them by ignoring them, belittling them, forcing them into illegal activities, etc. The third source I used was childwelfare.gov. This stated that parental neglect often was dealt because of borderline personality disorders and violent behaviors.
