Anaya, I put this on my Facebook page back in January 4, 2015. I too cried the first dozen times I watched it. When that little boy at the end says "Why wont I hit her ? Because I am a man " it breaks my heart. If only so many "so-called" men thought that way. Thanks for your comment my dear friend.

We need to teach our kids from a young age, now, dear Yann, as they are subject to so much violence, they must have it instilled that its NOT the answer. Particularly against someone weaker than themselves. Thanks for your appreciation of my words my friend.
