Children are priceless children for a family, therefore take care of them to grow well and develop as expected. Lately, cases of violence against children often occur. Most of the occurrence of violence against children in the child's own home. It is even more sad if violence against children occurs in the family environment and even the perpetrator is a known person. Violence against children is very bad for children who experience it, because psychologically it can cause victims to experience mental stress, find it difficult totrust people, and also have health and growth problems.

First, one of the psychological consequences that violence against children will experience is mental stress. Many people say that victims of child abuse are too much to call themselves depressed. However, this response is completely wrong, according to a study published by the FIP of the Indonesian University of Education. Which states that violence against children has a major impact on children's mental health. Because mental stress is a serious medical illness and has a negative impact on how you feel, think and act. Therefore, it is clear that violence against children can cause mental stress.

Second, another psychological consequence that will be experienced by victims of violence against children is the difficulty of trusting people. Many people say that child abuse victims should trust people again, and accept what happened. However, this response is completely wrong, according to a study published by Ida Bhagawan Istri Suwitra Pradnya. Who said that victims will experience a lack of self-confidence and difficulty trusting others as they get older. They may also be unable to express their feelings, resulting in difficulty controlling emotions. Therefore, it is clear that violence against children will make it difficult for children to trust people.
