PROTECT THE CHILDREN!
As we start our day today, child abuse will be reported every 10 seconds, yet many attacks will never be reported. By
the end of the day 5 to 10 children will have succumb to their beatings or neglect and die. Others will be brutally beaten, some will be molested and others raped. Most people won’t give these statistics another thought. Some don't care; some don't want to hear it! There will be no outrage. No disgust! But, they will certainly get angry at the line, they have to wait
in at their local Starbucks or Malls.
What kind of road are we heading down, when we are steadily stripping away the futures of today's Children? Child Exploitation, Child Slavery, Child Sex Trafficking, Rape, Molestation and the Abuse of children are becoming all too common! Neglect is seeing higher numbers than ever before. Children have more to fear than ever. Should they fear their parents as well? Should they fear family friends and teachers? We need to step up and ensure a bright future for every child; we need to stand in their defense now!
This is related to abusers. Are you a real man/woman/? Do you earn the title Father/Mother? Because a real man/woman, a real father/mother will shelter their family from harm, never inflict it on them!
As one child wakes and is ready for school, another child wakes and fears getting out of bed. One child awaits a kiss and
“I love you” as they head to the door, another child waits to see, if they will make it out without a violent sending. One child returns home to a smile and embrace, another child returns to an angry look and a physical altercation. One child will get tucked in and read a book before bed; the other will be balled up in the dark, wondering when the pain will end.
It's not fair how some kids are born into an unfortunate life. They had no say, no opportunity to choose. You come into this world as a child and the beginning of your life is basically planned for you, whether that may be a life of abuse and suffering, or a life of happiness and zero worries. Why do the innocent children have to suffer, when it wasn't even their wanting?
Some people don't realize how thankful, they should be for the life they live. Appreciate the bed you sleep on, the pillows you lay on, the food you eat and the showers you can take, as some don't have these fortunes. It's the little things that matter.
It is my view that children give hope to an ever darkening world. Their laughter is magical, their smiles are contagious,
and they are life renewed and faith restored. They are a gift and a blessing, a light at the end of the tunnel.
They share unconditional love and bring innocence lost to a jaded world. They truly are our future, though so much part
of our present. They can mend a broken heart, so why would we want to break theirs.
For every child we lose to abuse, we lose another piece of humanity. For every child whose innocence is stolen, we
darken the world a little more. A child’s place in this world is to be nurtured and then grow to accomplish things past generations fail upon. If would be a sad future for all of us, if this attack on God’s little one does not end soon.
Children should be treated as a blessing, never as a mistake! Even if a child was accidentally conceived, or conceived
from a horrific act, they are not at fault and should not be treated as an enemy! If you cannot love a child, born from anything but love, then you should give the child to a loving family, so that he or she is always made to feel special!
Child abuse is more than bruises or broken bones. While physical abuse is shocking due to the scars it leaves, not all
child abuse is as obvious. Ignoring children’s needs, putting them in unsupervised, dangerous situations, or making a
child feel worthless or stupid are also child abuse. Regardless of the type of child abuse, the end result is serious
emotional damage. Use your voice! Help a child today!
Tonight, while we rest peacefully a child will fear walking into their home. They will fear lying in bed and closing their
eyes. They will fear a parent and they will be beaten, raped or murdered. Hundreds of thousands will be abused tonight, 10 children will die and another 10 tomorrow, and the next day and the next! Please as you close your eyes, say a prayer
for these children! Above all if you suspect or know of abuse report it!
Perpetrators who sexually abuse children will coerce the child into believing that they are an equal participant in the ‘shameful secret,’ and therefore are equally to be blamed. The child can be so ‘guilt ridden’ that they may never disclose. This is particular relevant to young boys. The perpetrator usually is someone, who seems trustworthy from their
position, as a teacher, professor, parent and someone, as a mentor to a child. Never underestimate the devious and shadowy nature of a sexual predator.
No Child Deserves to Live in Fear!!!
There is no greater evil than those who willingly hurt an innocent child.
