The Abuse Continues

Recently, world newspapers carried stories of 6 year olds being trained by the rebels in Iraq to be terrorist. Most people can only imagine what it would be like to be approached by a 6 year old child who will explode when you touch him or her. This type of thing plays on one's mental psyche. Imagine what it does to the child - if the child survives. Over and over again, we see in the world around us and in our own country just how expendible we feel children are. We are more upset about animal rights than we are those of abused children. This is nothing new. It is a story that has continued longer than the 50 years of my life. We must stop the trauma of abuse towards are children if we want to have any hope of a good future.
