Why is this campaign important to you?
I was abused growing up for 4 years(3rd grade thru 6th). No one helped me & no one believed me. Emotional, physical,& sexual. 3rd grade thru 6th grade was sexual abuse:No one should have to deal with that. Then end up feeling they are worth nothing because of what happened like I did. Amanda Delp, I couldn't agree with you more.
Anna, I am so sad to hear of what you went through.... I was physically & emotionally abused by my father. You must 'forgive' the person who abused you... for you to ever be able to move forward. It takes a long time. I pray that you are in a good place now. God bless you!
So sad for you to have to go through such trauma!
no one should go through and ordeal like that but things happen to people,i to have been abused as a child you can never forget what happen ,but you can push past it so that you can live the way GOD want us to.
One abused child is one too many.
So agree but when the system is corrupt or severely broken it takes a strong person to get just one person who has the authority and guts to stand up for these children.
الاطفال هم مستقبل الامم وتدميرهم نفسيا يؤثر على مستقبل الاوطان والعالم بأثرة
I was abused. And so were others that I love dearly. The effects of abuse are hard to overcome.No child should ever be harmed, the world is difficult enough when we face harsh realities and stressful respinsibilities as adults.All children should be able to feel loved and safe, and be
able to laugh each and every day.
Thank God my Grandparents were there to save me and become a loving safe haven, and my Uncle looked out for me as a brother.
</3 my son was taken from me by an abusive man who hurt me for several years... when I fought back he put a restraining order against me and took my son to hurt me...... used my baby as a pawn and then beat him when I didn't do what he had wanted.. children should NEVER EVER be hurt by anyone who is supposed to love and care for them... they are an innocence given by god to remind us of the simple loving pleasures in life love family security <3 they are our future and they must be protected at all costs.
I pray you get him back
Because children don't ask to be here kids need to be protected
I work with children with special needs. They need be treated with love. I am there to guide, support and to help them be successful in everything they do. I have been working with them for 25 years and feel blessed by these children!
Without support they might not be able to succeed in life. I have four grandchildren that need to grow up knowingknowing that they count in this world and are loved. This is why this cause is important to me.

Until they are traumatized for life our. or lost from there family sometimes forever. I knew a lil baby 2 years old his mother and her boyfriend beat him to death. So , So , sad....AND they walking our same streets today. THIS IS MY WAY TO GET THIS IN TOO.
