Are you sure this isn't also a culture and religious thing?
I know thar beating the crap out of your children always has been seen as "goid" in the religioys environment I grew up, same for the inhumane way of forcing to eat (spoiled) food and the endkess humilating, scoldings, abusements and it always ended with the Bible phrase:
- Honour your parents
- turn the other cheek
(that ended as I found the opposite phrases in that "holy" book:
- parents do not incur your children's wrath
- an eye for an eye and a toith for a tooth
are among them!
It's not necessarily cultural. Rather, I believe it's a psychological problem that has become a vicious circle, as @enmabritt previously stated.
Children are very easily manipulated, and if we, as parents, whom they trust, do this to them, how can they differentiate between what is right and what is wrong? I don't think it's a question of culture, because it's something that happens in many different places around the world, regardless of origin, language, or religion.

We can. I am a victim of a very violent childhood. I saw the difference, I was and still am different. I find it totally wrong to blame the childhood/parents for everything. We see others, visit school, have neighbours and the last thing abused and molested children are is blind. They see, feel and hear more. They are observers and smart because they are survivors. Character plays a very big role.
Children are not more or less manipulated than parents, neighbours, politicians and look at all those Steemians.
