The Shame Is Over!Child Abuse
2007-11-03
Greetings One and All...Please take just three minutes to read this message and forward it on to those you feel would benefit most. I will not give up...
"I'm not stopping to count the casualties, there are companies who get paid to count the casualties. I'm not stopping to make you understand, there is an unlimited amount of resources provided by organizations who are supported to provide just that. Our nation has national campaigns to manage the consequences of child abuse but is turning a blind eye to the national need to focus on child abuse prevention!
When will America STOP-WATCH & Respond? One state reports five casualties, another state reports three another two, another and another. It is enough to puke a sea of blood! Soldiers die in foreign lands and our children go unguarded, taught how to protect and defend themselves! Even animals of the wild no better than to train their vulnerable young to protect themselves. What are we thinking? When we see guns in the hands of children abroad, we go into uproar, yet we equip our children with the mindset of defense and are not moved to fix our hypocrisy? NATION... HOW IS THIS? And what exactly are we teaching them to defend themselves against? Their parents! Their aunts and uncles, those they are to 'TRUST'... why(?) because the majority of these crimes are taking place by trusted members of the family who were once abuse victims themselves. What is the primary job of parent, authority figuers and providers? PROTECTOR! But our children see adults as OFFENDER.
No, I'm not stopping until America pays attention and does something MORE to make intervention. Yesterday's victims are not recovering, they are instead neglected members of society left to be fertilized by the crap we call "anti-depressants", a cop-out sedative for what I call 'true root issue intervention', today's society is enabling a breeding ground for tomorrows victim-abusers. We must not make it ok to leave a legacy of abuse for the children of tomorrow. Every abuse can be linked back to a victim experience... we MUST change how we raise our children if we have any hope of preserving the next generation America!
This is my life... this was my sister's life before she died in our circumstances, child abuse and neglect. In addition, it remains the life of one third of Americans and countless little girls and boys each day. Is that not enough for this Nation to wake up and pay attention to the trap we are setting for tomorrow's America?
Sometimes, I think of quitting, giving up, because Americans don't seem to care, and so I grow weary, but then, I remember last night.... I remember what it felt like when I was a little girl being hurt just like the thousands of girls and boys were hurt last night... and the ones who will be hurt again tonight... and the ones who didn't make it out alive this month and those who will not escape next month, and so I press on.
Organizations who claim they are tying to help should stop helping 'themselves', and ban together as ONE force, as ONE nation, as ONE race of people... UNITED TO DO SOMETHING... because divided we have fallen, we have failed the children who died this month. The time is now... victims are quickly becoming the minority. When victim-abusers become the majority... 'corrupt' will be a nice word for this nation.
People, the scales MUST be tipped back in the direction of balance, we will never eliminate abuse crime but if we loose the balance of justice over injustice we are sure to populate a living hell for tomorrow's America! They keep asking, 'what do you think your doing?' and I keep answering, 'I'm making it all worth it...' and so I ask, what are you willing to do?"
In all you do, be well...

Thank you for your post. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that we have many societal issues in our own backyards that need prompt attention rather than focus our outcries towards far away countries. Keep posting because you will eventually get all of our attention. It's an issue that most readers would rather not discuss, yet it remains the large elephant in the room.
