Is it child abuse to bring a child up in poverty, or even in a poor household?
Poverty greatly limits a child's future opportunities.

"Instead of eliminating causes of poverty, let's eliminate the poor (and do it again when the causes of poverty we ignored generate more of them)."
Solid thinking, my man.

wew, talk about putting words in a niggas mouth
I only know that I don't want to make children if I can't ensure I can provide them with a reasonably good standard of life and also lots of family time (I don't think it's smart to be missing from my children's life working 12 hours a day or something like that).
Poor people usually do it because their relatives and society are pushing them into shitting out children.

Your question is not innocent. It can easily be read as
>Are poor parents child abusers by default?

It's child abuse to raise a child thinking that unless he becomes a 150k$+ successlord he's a failure. Raise your children on a farm to become farmers or don't raise them at all.

Well?

Not all children born into poverty suffer in childhood or remain in poverty as adults. This is because poverty is not a character trait, no one is a 'poor person'. Anyone can become poor regardless of their character and a parent can be kind and supportive despite being poor. Being born into a poor family is a disadvantage but I would not consider it abuse.
It would help if you defined poverty. Is it relative or absolute?

Unless we're talking about rather extreme poverty, such as being homeless and not being able to feed your kids daily, no.
