Most of us were lucky and privileged enough to experience the sort of innocence and pleasure in life as these two children portray. My children were also able to have a childhood which was without fear of violence within the home or within the family. I am sure sexual, physical, emotional violence has been happening to children both within the home, family and outsiders since the beginning of time.
Children have the right to an innocent childhood - a childhood without fear of any kind.
Little did I realise then, that the instant my baby son was placed in my arms I would fall in love for ever and ever and nothing, not a thing which they could or would do would ever be bad enough to stop me loving my children. When I had my first baby I felt I could never feel this type of emotional love ever again. I had two more sons. It says in that old Sunday School song Red and Yellow, Black and White they are precious in His sight. My belief is that we re ALL meant to consider each and every child, no matter what colour, race or creed, to be totally precious.
