Look for the signs that I have just described. With the numbers of children being abused today, it must be going on right under our noses, so please open your eyes and look for a child silently crying out for help. My wish is that not a single child will be murdered tonight. Not a single child will be raped as you listen to this speech. My prayer is that we will hear the little cries and finally answer As you read this, one little girl is crying out in pain, one little boy is begging not to be touched there anymore.
Child abuse is one of the most commonly overlooked crimes.
It is also the most commonly committed. Everyday more and more children are neglected, beaten, raped, touched, or mentally tortured. Right now, children are praying for someone to help them when they can t help themselves. And we close our ears and avert our eyes. I am a strong opponent of child abuse.
