Why is this campaign important to you?
It seems that I used to hear an occasional story about child abuse and I thought it was horrific that there were people that could do such things, now it is a daily news item. There are too many laws that protect these child abusers and we must act now to put these people away. There are too many young people children themselves who are having babys at a young age and do not know haw to care for them properly. Abuse comes in all shapes and forms I hope you will join me and countless...
…It seems that I used to hear an occasional story about child abuse and I thought it was horrific that there were people that could do such things, now it is a daily news item.

There are too many young people children themselves who are having babys at a young age and do not know haw to care for them properly. Abuse comes in all shapes and forms I hope you will join me and countless others who agree that we must educate parents and imprison those who commit these crimes against defenseless children.
Too many laws that protects child abusers you say? That is absolutely NOT true. Claims of child abuse is something totally different than child abuse. Most of the times the child abuse is in the claims of child abuse, not in abuse itself. It's a very important distinction.
It is a lot of research in the area, It's best to NOT listen to what the press and government say about these issues. If you don't know what I am talking about I suggest you i.e. read the story about the game PS2 'Rule of Rose'. It was claimed to be a game promoting child abuse and pedophilia by some top politicians in the EU. The false claims actually stopped the game from release for 3 years. It was nothing as such, still the press wrote nothing else (almost) on the front pages for more than a year. So in people's minds the game is still a game promoting child abuse. But that is absolutely not a fact.
To actually stop child abuse, we will have to change society so they accept that mothers are also child abusers. And they are even more dangerous to children than fathers, or any other person close or not, to the child. According to resent research by i.e. Phd Elisabeth Staksrud, ass. prof. Harvard Law School, the most dangerous place for children on the internet is where children interact without adults present. Child abuse by adults is only a marginal portion of the concept of child abuse. To get it right, these are things we have to accept as a society first. The truth is NOT in the news. And to convict innocent adults does not at all help. It makes the issue more serious for children if we continue to address the wrong issues and mistake them as reasons for child abuse, rather than symptoms of a society that scrams 'child abuse' and 'we need to kill those bastards' on every front page every time a false allegation reach the front pages.
Why is there more protection for animals than a helpless child?
Adult unbalanced, are in most cases, those responsible for the beating of children today. It is perceived injustice by inequality in the relationship, putting in the balance and the constituents forming the group.
Comparing children with adults we see that these have greater weight, height, and experiences not yet experienced by the child. Furthermore, lower depend on the ripened for survival.
Je suis un peu de Lomé, depuis...
…Or, je viens de me rendre compte que Lomé est devenue une nouvelle destination où tout est beaucoup plus facile pour les amateurs d'enfants. La "prostitution" de petites filles, forcées ou non, était l'apanage de vendeurs et clients africains (j'avais fait un petit clip sur ce sujet). Aujourd'hui, une clientèle européenne se pointe pour abuser de petites filles et de petits garçons. C'est aussi facile que d'acheter de l'essence nigérianne de contrebande...

Hi Suzzane, please consider reposting the petition I started in support of Calif. State Senate Bill 10, currently under consideration, which would treat teachers no different than anyone else charged with a child's welfare who violates their own code of conduct -- let alone the public's trust. If there is evidence to prove that a janitor abused a school student, he would be out of a job instantly and prosecuted within month. A teacher in California under the same set of circumstances could...
…Hi Suzzane, please consider reposting the petition I started in support of Calif. State Senate Bill 10, currently under consideration, which would treat teachers no different than anyone else charged with a child's welfare who violates their own code of conduct -- let alone the public's trust. If there is evidence to prove that a janitor abused a school student, he would be out of a job instantly and prosecuted within month. A teacher in California under the same set of circumstances could receive full pay while they wait often over a year for a hearing.
As a parent and social worker, I want to do all I can to see S.B. 10 become law. Please help us by reposting here: http://www.causes.com/causes/807256-californians-for-safe-schools/actions/1716967.
