Child abuse is the type of abuse which tears children inside out. It takes them to places within their minds where children should never have to go. This page deals with abuse of the child directly. Kid's Home of Fear dealt with this, but in a more general way. On that page, I cover all types of ways a child lives in fear. Child abuse, and any type of abuse happening in the home makes our children suffer is the message there.
Here, I deal with the direct abuse of children. Those kids physically, emotionally, mentally, and sexually abused by their parents, other family members, or guardians who should be caring for them. This site exists to help victims, and to get everyone to understand their responsibility within their communities to stop this madness.
I lived this type of life, and I know the devastating impact it has on a child's heart and mind. You want to do all you can to please the abuser, but nothing is enough.
This page is here to get people to wake up to just how bad this problem has become, and to bring people face to face with this problem. On pages which will follow this one, I will continue to explore child abuse by offering stories and memorials of real victims. I am not going to sugar coat it at all here. I am going to express the views very directly. I am going to remind people that children die from child abuse. I am going to let people know that the victims who do survive have a lifetime of problems to get through to become a survivor. I am going to express the pain and struggle of trying to deal with scars of abuse while trying to get through each day.
At the bottom of this page you will see logos and banners of support for child abuse. There are many more I am sure. These are just a few which I have chosen to support. Click on the links button in the navigation section at the bottom of this page or the navigation bar at the top of the page to see more web sites which help children who are abused.
Children are killed by their parents, family members, and guardians. This is no revelation. We are exposed to these news stories on TV, papers, magazines, Internet, and radio. People may say, "Gee, something should be done about that. How can this be happening?" How many will actually report an incident which seems suspicious to them? Many, even in todays highly technical and educated age, just want to mind their own business and not get involved.
When people do not try to help or reach out to these kids who obviously look as though they are abused, they are saying that our children are not important. What future will our world have if our kids have to continue to experience these horrific abuses?
On this page and others which follow, I am not going to bore the visitor with statistics. I am not going to give a lot of information on what child abuse is or isn't. If people are not aware of this, they can click on the links below or on the links page and learn all about it. Here at Turmoil Leads to Hope, I am making Child Abuse personal. I am going to bring victims, families of victims, friends of victims, and helping individuals together. Here I am going share survivor stories, memorials of those victims lost as they are given to me by visitors, stories of kids dealing with abuse, and other stories dealing with those trying to help children who are being abused.
You will see a connection also to domestic violence here in some of the cases. I have said it be fore and will say it again, one of a child's parents is being abused and breaks free, the child usually becomes the next target. You will see this reflected in some of the stories and campaigns which will appear here.
I hope, after visiting, each of the pages on child abuse you will understand the role of every person living in a community to report child abuse. I want everyone to get involved and end this madness. The kids in all communities whether rich or poor deserve to live without fear. They deserve to enjoy their childhoods, and live in safe homes. We must take a stand against child abuse. We must report what we see and hear. We must make our children primary within our society. We must make our homes and communities safe for them to grow up. They are the future.
Further down this page you will find numbers to help you take action and report child abuse within your own state. You may also use the national numbers which are also listed in that section. These numbers can help you help the victims of child abuse by offering them options and ways to find safety from abuse.
This is serious stuff and many things will be dealt with here which you may find disturbing. Child abuse is disturbing and lives depend on what we do about it.
