There are thousands of children being abuse in the world. The problem just is not in the United States it exists in different countries. There are several different kinds of abuse. We have a bigger problem in this world than we care to admit.

      Some people think if we don’t think about it, or deal with it and ignore the problem, the problem will go away on its own.However, that is not the case we need to take care, and deal with the problem head on. Quit pretending that child abuse does not exist, because it does. We have a bigger problem than people are willing to admit. We all need to know how to recognize the different types of abuse.

     Before we can prevent child abuse we need to become aware of the problem, and how big, and bad the problem is. There is physical abuse, but when we think of physical abuse, we do not think of all the signs to look for some of the signs are unexplained, or repeated injuries, such as welts, burns. Injuries shape of object (belt buckle, electric cord, etc.). Injuries happening but seem likely to happen given the age, or ability of the child, for example, broken bones when a child is too young to walk, or climb. When parents, and child disagree on how the injury came about. When a child is dirty. Unnourished, in appropriate clothes depending on the weather lack of medical, or dental care.

     The next kind of abuse is emotional abuse. When a child is aggressive ,or withdrawn behavior shying away from physical contact with parents, or adults, or afraid to go home.  A third kind of abuse is sexual abuse , when a child tells you he, or she was sexually mistreated, a child. a child will show physical signs in difficulty in walking, or sitting, there are stained, or bloody underwear, genital, or rectal pain, and itching swelling, redness, r discharge burises, or other injuries in the genital, or rectal area, child has behavioral, and emotional signs, such as difficulty eating, or sleeping soiling, and wetting the pants, or bed after being potty trained, acting like a much younger child, excessive crying, or sadness from activities, and others, talking about or acting out sexual acts beyound normal sex play for age.

     These are just a few of some of the signs, and examples of child abuse to look for. Therefore, we will need to be aware of the signs of abuse and recognize them. now you ask what we can do to help all those children being mistreated. For starters, we need to be their voice, and take them a stand, and fight for them. People are afraid to speak up; they turn their heads the other way so because of that these children are the ones that are suffering.

     You know there are about nine hundred cases of child abuse being reported each year, and in that number, there are fifth teen thousand of those die each year in child abuse. Imagine the cases that are not reported to think about that tonight when you go to your safe homes, and sleep tonight. a lot of those cases could have been prevented if we all would take a stand. Here are just a few cases of child abuse that i have looked up.

     Seventh month old David Colorado jr. who is in a vegetable or minimally conscious state, and just recently taken off life support after being abused by his parents this happened in Dallas.

    A second situation is when a three month old trinity victoria died from blunt froce truma to her head, for which her father has been charged in dallas.

     A third situation is when a twenty three month old baby who was sexually assaulted by his tweenty six year old babysitter name is Irving.

     Six years old, christopher Dotson who was beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend in Dallas.

     A three month old baby name Vanessa Ponce who was beaten to death in California.

     These are just a few of the child abuse cases that are reported each year. Therefore, some of these cases I have brought to your attention should highlight how important it is to think about, please report any abuse or neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, or medical neglect. so please report it, we have a duty to these children, they cannot speak for themselves or defend themselves. It is up to us to be their voice. Speak up America! I urge you to help these poor victims. Children do not have a chance in life without people like you and me, they do not stand a chance so please stand up and protect all the children around the world lets all fight this war together and help these children let us be their voice!
