About Children
< About children I want to talk. Everyday
I hear on the news, that somewhere a
child has been murdered or abused.
What has happened to our Society? Are
we deaf or have we gone blind? I heard
that every six minutes somewhere a child
is being murdered or abused.
Let's wake up and be on alert, to help that
child that is being hurt. Let us report what
we see and help our children to be free.
Child predators are everywhere. It could be
your next door neighbor, or your child's
teacher in school. Maybe - their bus driver.
All these stories have been heard before.
A family member, could be involved too. It
could be an uncle, a brother, maybe even
their own mother. A father too has killed
his own child, because the baby cried.
A child is defenseless against grown ups -
so let's you and I do our part. Next time it
could be - your child or mine... >
