I hope Moore never loses a family member because he or she was driving on a road that didn't have enough room to move out of the way of a drunk driver. Bill Agee Georgetown Protect abused children This month, we will honor the thousands of children who have been physically, sexually and emotionally abused. It is important for us all to realize that children are being abused in our nation, our state and our communities. Children will suffer tonight at the hands of abusive adults. The bruises will disappear, but for those who survive, the damage may last a lifetime.
Every child deserves to be protected from abuse.
The physical and sexual abuse these children endure is horrific. You can protect them by helping your neighbor or relative with parenting skills or work through anger without involving their children, and by advocating for services to help families. If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, call the local child protective service agency. I would bet that police officers, in that position in their own homes, don't rely on 911 calls. It is that responsibility that ensures freedom.
