Secrecy

Secrecy is a key which most abused children/adults try to hold on. There are several reasons for this, one of which is because they might get “publicised” and “stamped.” In the society, abused children are always given less respect and often not allowed to be a part of the society. These children take the measure of being “silent”, to avoid social stamping of “abused.”
The fear of not getting justice is another reason why abused children keep quiet. In some cases the abused children are critised by the law and are punished (as it happened in Maldives). This fear pushes them back from asking for justice.
The psychological affects to the abused child is another, perhaps the, reason why abused children choose to be silent. They get in a phsychological situation called “disturbed” and are often reffered to as “phsychologically disturbed children.”
