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.

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?
I came from abuse an survived. Stop abuse..
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...

Stop child abuse!

Mr. Sharpe I totally agree with you.
THATS CALLED WORLD PEACE, I JUST DONT KNOW IF IT Can happen at this point, AMERICA has let its guard down, let too many people in, muslimde are taking over, trying really hard. They are not all bad, but with the history we have with there countries, they are trying to take ocver and or kill us, terrorize people, they like god,, Thier god is NOT MY GOD. i wish i could say something nice. not good, History has a way of repeating it self. i think Winston said that, Churchill
This cause is so important, because you grow tired of reading the paper and watching the news hearing countless abuse to children. They need a voice,that is why this cause is important to me.
YES THIS CAUSE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME
I was abused as a child & my x abused me also! Put a stop to it !
Need a stratergized approach to cab the abuse of children. It's possible that some of the abusers were victs of abuse in their childhood, so in my opinion.
start by processing the abusers...
i agree. Nobody is born bad. They are damaged along the way
No child should be subjected to abuse. With all the law abiding citizens in America, we should be keeping our eyes open and ready to report such suspicions, and then the law needs to do its part.
