Stopping Abuse

There are many problems in our world, such as hunger, poverty, natural

disasters and sickness. All these issues are serious, but I believe that one tragedy stands above all others, abuse. Specifically these types of abuse: animal, domestic and child. Animal abuse is a very serious issue in the United States. 1106 cases of animal abuse are reported every year, and very, very little of it is ever reported. Organizations such as the Humane Society are working against animal abuse to try to save all the poor animals subject to abuse. Domestic violence is defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one partner against another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, or family. 25% of women, and about 4,000,000 men are subject to domestic abuse In America at any given time. Domestic abuse is unacceptable in any form and needs to be stopped! If you are subject to domestic abuse you need to tell someone, friend, family member, or law official, it doesn't matter as long as you get help. More than five children die everyday from child abuse in America. To think that adults would hurt or torment innocent children is a horrible thought, and I wish it wasn’t a part of this world. Sadly child abuse is in this world and is a serious issue. Organizations such as the Every Child Matters Education Fund are working against child abuse. In conclusion, abuse is a very serious issue in America and around the world, and one day I hope it will end!
