- Those of you who have had the opportunity to visit most
of my pages are aware that the reason I began my pages
here on the web was in a way, a method of healing from
the death of our only child. Our son Kelly died in a freak
automobile accident some 5 years ago at the age of 23.
Up until that time, the term child abuse had never been a
part of my vocabulary. We really didn't know of any
instances in our "little happy world" that this occurred.
Perhaps somewhere along the line, we had heard rumors
of children being mistreated, but just didn't want to think
of such a horrible thing. Our child was so precious to us,
we could not imagine and probably just didn't want to think
about a parent physically or mentally abusing a child. I hate
to admit that we were that uncaring, but I guess we were.
Both my husband and myself were so very fortunate to
have had parents who loved and treated us with great
respect. But since our son's death and since I've been
spending time on the internet, I have become more and
more aware of the abuse and dangers so many of the
children of our world face each day. Just recently on the
news, I've heard of a mother kicking her 20 month old
daughter to death, a boyfriend of the mother of a 2 year
old literally shaking the boy till he broke his
neck and the child died, a baby sitting cousin pouring
boiling water on a baby because he would not stop
crying. subsequently killing the child and just tonight on
the news was a story about a mother who left her
new-born daughter in the car while she went in and
played videopoker.....the child died from suffocation and
heat stroke. We hear daily about our children being
abused physically and sexually by their teachers, by
day-care workers and even by members of the
ministerial family. What have we become to idly sit
by and watch and read about such abuse and not
start an all-out campaign to stop the criminals who
abuse our precious children. Do we not want to
be bothered, to not interfere or get involved to the
point that many children are injured and die each
day because it's just something we had rather not
think about? Life is so precious and there is nothing
more precious than the life and well being of a child.
They are our future and we are allowing heartless
people to kill them. My heart aches for the touch of
my child's face, but I know that while on this
earth, it's something that I will never again know,
except in my memories. I cannot understand nor do I
have any mercy for anyparent who abuses their child.
I ask, no I plead with you that if you know of a child
that is being abused in any way by any person, please
report it tto the authorities immediately.
Do not turn your head while another child dies.
Please take a stand now and help save
our children!!!

it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much I had in the bank nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child. |
