~CHILD ABUSE IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN--
WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO ABOUT IT?~
The Mental, Physical and Sexual torture that pedophiles are putting our children through is beyond all comprehension. Our children are growing up in a world that allows the very people who are suppose to protect them to abuse them--
With only a slap on the wrist as punishment!
It is time to make Child Abuse a heinous crime with ZERO TOLERANCE!

~ Imagine the outcry if these statistics represented a disease, which was wiping out 5 children per day, victimizing millions, and who's by-products where disabilities & expanding violence. Youth rights are really about human rights, and simple empathy is a giant first step to the benefits of increased awareness. The high jump in child abuse statistics shows the importance of youth rights by showing cases of frightening lack of knowledge!!~
