The day children are
concieved they are victims of a
controversial debate and treated
as products rather than living hu-
man beings. They are a part of a
debate dealing with whether they
should be allowed to live or to die
without even being a part of the
decision.
Once the decision has been
made to raise God's creation
nourishment becomes an impor-
tant part of parental upbringing in
order to mold society's child into
a healthy human being. Without
the proper nourishment and at-
tention during the developmental
stages children are unable to fully
develop. Many children are sad
examples of poor upbringing es-
pecially neglected ones who are
abused.
It is very sad indeed when
children are brought into an al-
ready corrupted society but it is
worse when children are inad-
equately protected especially
through the courts. They are
taught morals about how to be

with Frances Plymale
righteous yet how righteous is
society and government laws
when it is a fact that children are
coerced to change their true sto-
ries. It has been not just in the
local news but many other sources
of the media and statistics. The
children's stories are mere facts of
their tramatic abusive experience
by their offenders that can cause
them to be scarred for life.
Just how much control can the
government have and why does it
always scemtocontradictit'sown
laws? It becomes a community
problem when injustice is obvi-
ously reality when child abusers
become the main concern over
our own children.
Although organizations such
as People Against Child Abuse
participate in fund raisers to help
abused children just how much
money is government contribut-
ing to match these funds? It is
great to have these organizations
such as P.A.C.A but where ex-
actly is the overall dedication when
it comes to government made
laws that could be changedlo to-
tallypreventchildabuscfromever occurring.
My opinion is that it is going
to take a lot more than just the
dedication of an organization.
Since there is sex education al-
ready in public schools to educate
our children morally why not lis-
ten to our children's outcry when
they arc desperately reaching out
to be heard. Sexual abuse is also a
big problem and a form of child
abuse. After all it is true that a
child will respect those who in
turn respect them.
It is going to not just take
community participation to re-
spond to an abused child's outcry
but government's sympathetic
heart to listen and respond to a
child cry for justice.
