They live a life from a young age to adulthood with complications. They are more susceptible to experiencing a mental illness that does not allow them to be fully independent. Also, due to these long-term affects they are more at risk for ending their lives as suicide changes increase. As well as they are more likely to encage in illegal drug activity, which puts them at risk for drug over dose. Finally, society does not realize the implications that child abuse has on taxpayers.
