Breaking the Silence on Child Abuse in America

 ::snipping2::
One statistic cited in the report states that 66 children under the age of 15 die from physical abuse or neglect every week in the industrialized world, and of those, 27 die in the U.S. -- the highest number of any other country. How is it, the report asks, that every five hours a child dies from abuse or neglect in America? How is it that America has the worst child abuse record in the industrialized world?

Maybe because we are too busy minding our own business or too busy to get involved.
Folks have forgotten we are all accountable.  It's sad.

Here is your answer (or part of it) right from the article: "Part of the answer is that teen pregnancy, high-school dropout, violent crime, imprisonment, and poverty - factors associated with abuse and neglect - are generally much higher in the US. "

All of those factors are preventable - but we, as a country, do not take it upon ourselves to fix any of them - instead we encourage young girls to have babies by giving them free money, and we do not encourage anyone to fend for themselves - socialism breeds this type of expend-ability of our weakest - the young, the sick and the old. Sad isn't it.
