A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot”
This is a quote by Martina Mcbride and it illustrated that when a person’s life is covered in a blanket of darkness, then they will not think themselves as important and they will start to grow hatred for themselves, this sometimes results in suicide in later years.
Child abuse is when a feeling of anger engulfs a person so much so their character changes and they take their anger out on sinless souls like children. This has many affects on the child- both mentally and physically. They lose confidence in themselves. They prefer being alone than with people, and they fear love. Do you not feel for them? Do you not feel their pain? Their sorrow? Their grief? Are we not all children of Adam? So why neglect them?
The point, I am trying to make my dear friends is that we are all humans. We all deserve the same rights. We are all the same. No one should be treated differently. No one should be brutally beaten or psychologically pained. However the truth is that it is happening, it will happen and it has happened. But we are neglecting it. Are we not women? Are we not courageous? Can we not stand up for what’s right? Oh people! Open your eyes! See the world as it is! See how children are dying of helplessness whilst we are doing nothing, nothing nothing!
‘Abuse not only scars the skin but it also scars the heart’ a well known quote by Alicia Coyle. This means that when one is abused, they get affected by it for the rest of their lives. They are haunted by the fear of being hurt for no reason. They become insecure and in some cases they stop talking for years until recovery. In the case of Alissa B.Guernsay, she was beaten by her caregiver, Christy Shaffer. Alissa was born a healthy, strong and joyful baby. In Alissa's photographs before she was in Christy's care show her full of laughter, love, and life.
