Parents in such instances may try to force/trick the child into saying what the child does not want to say; doing do by demands or by presentation of their own statements which they feel will force the child to contradict their own statements to maintain personal integrity. Such parents do not respect the constitutional rights of young people to remain silent when they want to remain silent. The child's strategy of silence is the tragic consequence of the parents dysfunctionality, but it may be the best alternative which is open to the child. When the child who adopted the strategy of silence while lacking in power to defend self and others in any other way, may carry that strategy over into adult life when other alternatives of defense exist. If those alternatives are not clear to the adult child of the abused impotent child---the strategy of silence may lead to its own kinds of tragedies in adult behavior. The strategy of silence among competent adults is alienative. It is bound to lead to tragic consequences, just as the addictive patterns of behaviors of parents leads to tragic consequences for the impotent child. Part of the normal education of children should be learning how to transcend the felt need to continue strategies of silence beyond the years of children's impotency. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
