Family structure plays a major role in a child’s life and how they will turn out when they get grown. The family is the number one factor in a juvenile child growth, development and social life(Elrod & Ryder.2004). A child does pretty much of what they grow up around like if a child has an abusive parent nine times out ten they will be abusers. So if the daughter sees her father hitting her mother she may think it is ok for a man to hit her. The more resources a family has involved with helping raise their children like churches, good teachers, and family member will give the child love. Children who grow up poor are more likely to be juvenile delinquents rather than a rich kid.
