CHILD ABUSE IS AN EPIDEMIC

Children today, are the future of tomorrow Why destroy a life before it starts A world problem that's overlooked I can't understand why we mistreat our kids Society condones this criminal offense Where not enough attention is given As parents, home violence must stop We must be more accountable to our kids Case loads are of epidemic proportions Which are tolerated by the court system We get frustrated when no action is taken Cradling the law into our own hands Someone please help, I'm crying for help! It's difficult to face such an environment Your self esteem and respect are shattered This is an epidemic of child abuse Author: Floyd Neal Date: May 2003 Inspiration: Stories in the news
