Introduction-Dear+Reader

Dear Reader,

What comes into your mind when you think of child abuse? Well think of it this way, every 10 seconds an innocent child in the world is abused. I find that fact very disturbing and hard to grasp. How can people be like that? Isn’t this supposed to be a free world? In America I know that people have freedom, it is not fair to put poor innocent children through the pain of child abuse. There are many tears shed due to child abuse, and every tear that is shed due to child abuse is not right. I chose to do child abuse because I think that the more I know about the subject, the easier it will be to tell others about it. Child abuse awareness is very important, because the more people made aware of how awful child abuse is, the easier it will be to recognize child abuse and to stop if for good!

In doing this project my knowledge of child abuse has expanded a great amount, but my thoughts about it, have not. In the process I watched many videos of true stories, and those are what stuck out to me the most. I found myself in tears after watching one video, where a little boy struggled for his whole life, which sadly ended after only a year and a half. I hope that in exploring through my project the stories and the message gets to you, just as it got to me. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Emma Green
