Question by M:): What does the word “child abuse” mean to you?
What does the word child abuse mean to you?
Why does it happen?
Please be specific.
Include ways how it happen & by who?

Best answer:

Answer by Suger smack
It means being mean or cruel to a child.

It happens for many reasons and some abuse is not as bad as others (although it’s all bad.)

I think the main reason it happens is people are immature and overwhelmed. I think the second biggest reason is some parents might be on drugs. It can happen to any child and from anyone but mostly caregivers like parents or babysitters, nannies and grandparents.

Question by Bakuny?: Does “Hoodia” show up as anything on a drug test?
Hi! I have a friend that is a nurse going through recovery treatment and they test her for even the most minute traces of anything that can be called a “Drug”.

One of her classmates got busted because she moved and spent the day cleaning and the alcohol absorbed through her hands from the cleaning products showed up in the test and they tried to ‘call’ her on it!

She wants to try the Hoodia Pills but is worried they might show up as “something” bad on the drug test.

Does anyone know if it would show up?

Thanks!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodia
Hoodia is a stem succulents, described as “cactiform” because of their remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family.

It is thought to aid in weight loss.

It is 100% legal, ‘herbal’ suppliment.

Personally, I don’t think there is enough scientific backing to use it but if she wants to try it, I can only tell her the facts and let her make up her own mind.
