How Did We Get To A Point Where A Helpless Child Could Be Treated This Way?
Sometimes, child abuse can be connected to uncontrolled anger, frustration, a history of violence, lack of empathy, substance abuse, or other personal problems. But none of these can ever justify deliberately hurting a helpless child.
A child cannot fight back like an adult.
A child may not even understand why they are being hurt.
And the scars may go far beyond what we can see on the body.
What makes this even more heartbreaking is that children often depend completely on the adults around them for protection.
So, if you are caring for a child that is not biologically yours, remember:
That child is someone's precious gift.
That child has feelings.
That child deserves dignity.
That child deserves protection.
Let justice be served properly and lets stop normalising violence against children.
A child is not a punching bag.
A child is not an outlet for your anger.
A child is a human being. ❤️
