Especially in the book Miss America by Day it is mentioned one of the abuses called incest (abuse is intentional harm or endangerment of a child, incest is a sexual relationship between closely related people.). As in the case of Marilyn, author of Miss America, she experienced incest with her father between the ages of five and eighteen, so until she became an adult it was very difficult for her to tell her own story to anyone because she was I was afraid no one would believe in her. As the book Child, Family, School, Community says, “the more emotionally close the victim and offender are, the more significant trauma the victim experiences.” I agree with this statement, it is true that the closer the offender is to the victim, the more trauma the victim experiences. Some of the abuses are child temperament, marital distress, unemployment, lack of community support, and cultural values ​​such as tolerance of violence can be considered abuse. Other symptoms include poor social skills with peers their own age(s), an inability to trust others, feelings of depression, suicide, self-harming behaviors, and confusion about their sexuality. It also says a high percentage of drug addicts, runaway youths and prostitutes were sexually abused as children. But for Marilyn Van Derbur felt very depressed and had a temper but she coped with her pain by socializing and acting like nothing happened because she has to keep this a secret from everyone (Child, Family , School).,
