Domestic Violence: Parent’s Perception about Child Abuse
Abstract: The number of child
abuse cases in Indonesia is increasing every year. The perpetrators of child
abuse are mostly the parents. It is important to understand various types of
domestic violence because home is children’s first environment where they learn
many things. Besides that, home is a safe place for children, with parents as
the main actor who guards them. The limited facility that can be used as
information source of what should be done by parents in parenting and educating
children is alarming. Therefore, research to identify and to analyse parents’
understanding about domestic violence is needed. This research was conducted
using descriptive qualitative method in which researchers analyse further about
parents’ perception about child abuse. The result from 3 participants of this
research is that child abuse still exists and is done intentionally by parents
with different educational and economic background.
