Image via Wikipediathis IS A subject that is dear to my heart.I have known many abused children and alot of grown people who was abused as children.I have witness it first hand as well.it is a very serious matter and still there is alot of it still going on unreported and people not wanting to get involved.
children everyday die that needs not to have died.its easy turn one back or turn the other way.If you ever get a chance to talk to someone who grew up in a situation like that you would maybe understand why we need to make a stand against child abuse. the stories are true and it will make you cry to hear the stories and sick at the same time,work with kids that has been abused is heart rending and it tears at your very soul to look at a young child whose arm was severely dislocated,the bruised face,the swollen face where you can't even recognize them,the burns they suffer,the beatings and then there is the one you don't see.
the mental abuse is something that will never heal and its with you the rest of your life.you are never the same and the nightmares only get worse and you wake up screaming and cowering in fear.it takes years of therapy and learning how to live again without fear.the fear can be control but it is always there waiting to rear its ugly head.
there are several hotlines that is available to the public and many websites to help.
be the one in your neighborhood to stand up for theses children who can't help themself and if you know of someone please call 911 or call a hotline if you don't want to directly get involved.

this is really serious and it is getting worse and there is still several cases that goes unreported a year.
Please stop the abuse,if only one child is saved from this blog then i have accomplished what my mission is and that is to help one child at a time.and if each and everyone of us do that then that number will rise and something can be done to stop-we won't get all of them but just one child at a time is one less child that is being abused.one less child that will die,one less child that will have to carry the scars,one less child that won't be mentally unstable the rest of their life. just one child if we all can just help one child that will add up to hundreds and even thousands in no time at all.
it should not hurt to be a child!!!!!!!!!!
