Children who are abused have a hard road to travel.
Children are removed from homes everyday across the United States where they
have been victims of family violence.
Children are physically, emotionally and verbally abused by their mothers'
boyfriends, fathers, grand parents, uncles, bigger siblings, and other families
members.
Children are sexually molested, burned with cigarettes, guns put to their heads,
filmed while they use the rest room, hot water poured on them, died from
beatings, made to lay in an ant bed, placed in a closet with no food.
Children that are caught up in a home full of violence will live in it for years before
they can get out of it.
The predators are often put in jail, but the Judges often feel sorry for the abuser,
because the abusers will say they had such a bad childhood.
If a family was provided the proper services in the beginning, child abuse can be
stopped in that home and not passed down from generation to generation.
We must look at the whole picture and try to provide families with all the services
they may need.
Charging a person with the crime of failure to protect a child, is blaming that person for the domestic abuse
towards a child, but it is not the answer to end the problem.
It's just putting a bandages on the problem; we must fix the problem so that we can assure the safety of other
children.
There's forty percent of child abuse cases nationwide, the threat was already known
to the child welfare system, but it failed to protect the victims.
We must learn that abuse is the root of all evil.
Many people who were abused as a child will abuse their children.
We need to stop the cycle of abuse. Often children who have been abused will turn to crime, gangs, drugs,
alcohol to find the love and compassion they are not receiving from their parents. With the right intervention
they can become an asset to the community and not a liability.
