Bad Memories

            Child abuse is one of the wrongs I don’t like. Child abuse can happen to any age group. Child abuse is cruel, mean, rude, and hurtful. It will also be a memory that the victim will forever hold as one of their bad memories. It will also decrease the child’s trust in people. Some feel scared and feel like they have no one to turn to. Some may even choose to commit suicide. Nearly five children die each day from child abuse. The percentage of child abuse in the United States is 20.6%. To help prevent child abuse visit www.childhood-usa.org/.   It is said on the website:  www.dreamcatchersforabusedchildren.com/. that there is a child being abused every thirteen seconds somewhere.
           Some ways we can help prevent child abuse is reporting it when seen. Teach children when to say "no", teach them the appropriate touching zones and the inappropriate touching zones, what and what not to tell, how to call 911, and you can even sign them up for therapy so they can report what is happening to them. You can also donate money online to child abuse charities such as: www.worldvision.org/ . Please read the information about how to stop child abuse.
