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... >

Everything you have stated here is undeniably true. We can't even trust priests in our parishes these days. This is a sad, but good write.
