VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN
Many children are prone to be victims of crime due to some physical or psychological characteristics. Manifestation of cruelty against children significantly affects their further development. Children with physical or mental disabilities are considered by narcissistic parents as a symbol of their own damaged ego that generates from them cruelty to their children. The purpose of this review, based on the analysis of 21 sources of literature in Russian and 15 sources in English, was to determine why children do not ask for help in case of violence and cruelty against them. It can be concluded that in many children because of their physical or mental defects motives to somehow protect themselves do not arise, the other part of the children do not feel able to ask for help because of fear or shame, the third group of children due to lack of any information simply does not know that they really can get effective help.
