To the Editor:
During the month of April some organizations, businesses, individuals, etc. were doing things to shed light on child abuse since April is Child Abuse Awareness month. In 1996, our government deregulated and legalized a form of child abuse.
Since then, we as a nation have allowed, promoted, financed, supported, etc. this form of abuse. The government has forced it upon us, but ‘we the people’ are openly welcoming it, when we should be standing against it.
Let’s define child abuse. According to the New Lexicon Webster Dictionary, child abuse is physical, emotional or sexual harm as well as anything that brings on developmental impairment or death. Child abuse is to be dealt with by law.
