| Subject: Child Abuse Walk! Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:04 pm | |
| Child Abuse is the physical or psychological/emotional mistreatment of children. Yes, we can yell when we're hurt, yes we can cry. but what the most thing is--fear. Most abused kids are scared to tell an adult about it. Because they have been hurt, and they don't want to get even more hurt by telling. But, it's better to tell. In 2009 CBS News reported that child abuse in the United States had increased during the economic reccession. Most kids being abused grow up, and abuse their kids as how they were treated when they were younger. Terrible, isn't it? I'm glad I come from a good home!Children who are physically abused are likely to receive bone fractures, particularly rib fractures, and may have a higher risk of developing cancer. April has been designated as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the United States since 1983. Even though it's not April, I would like to have a Walk to stop Child Abuse!
Organizations
There are organizations at the national, state, and county levels in the United States that provide community leadership in preventing child abuse and neglect.
The National Alliance of Children's Trust Funds and Prevent Child Abuse America are two national organizations with member organizations at the state level.
