That also means, of course, that society as a whole is less than it could be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"abody\"><span class=\"Fid_0\">\u201cAbused children often do less well in school, face more dire medical issues, suffer emotional issues, come in more frequent contact with the law, and often require a lifetime of economic support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"abody\"><span class=\"Fid_0\">\u201cSo what to do?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"abody\"><span class=\"Fid_0\">\u201cThe most desirable solution is to prevent it, to begin with. Stable families in decent housing with a sustainable income are under less pressure and therefore less likely to transfer stress onto a child.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"abody\"><span class=\"Fid_0\">\u201cIf, however, such an environment does not exist, early intervention may be necessary to\u00a0<b class=\"searchTerm\">break<\/b>\u00a0the cycle of abuse.
