"There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't."

Rabindranath Tagore

National Child Abuse Prevention Month

"April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect and encourage individuals and communities to support children and families. Learn more about the history of the month, see examples of Presidential and State proclamations, and find strategies for engaging communities and supporting families. You may also want to learn more about the 17th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect in April."-quoted from www.childwelfare.gov

Please speak up for the little ones who can't if you suspect anything. I would rather be wrong than right! I'm glad someone did for me! Thank you Paul where ever you are, may god bless you!

I'm glad for you that someone spoke out... but the climate today is so freaky on this subject.

In this area (and I do NOT think this is unusual in the world at large) parents have been investigated by CPS for pushing their children (not roughly) onto a school bus, because their child was afraid to go home after being caught passing pornographic notes in class, and other awesomely outlandish reasons. This is, it seems, occurring ever more frequently. To the point that many say you should be careful about disciplining your child in ANY way in public (i.e.: fussing too loudly!).

I would rather make sure I have a firm foundation before I report something I suspect - nowadays especially. Once you're under the microscope, it stays focused on you. Guilty until proven innocent. And that goes with homeschooling, too!
