Mark of Child Abuse
The Mark of Child Abuse
I would like to seize this opportunity to tell you a little about MCA. MCA stands for The Mark of Child Abuse which is a charity organization which helps children from all over the world suffering from the everlasting torment of child abuse.
Before I get into the details, first I must make you aware of what these helpless souls are going through everyday.
Child abuse is not just bruised bodies and broken bones, it is also emotional assault. Deep, lasting scars that remain within the child, both emotionally and physically, for the rest of their lives.
In many situations, the kids are familiar with their abusers making it difficult for the abused child to inform anyone of the situation, as they live in fear of what would happen if the abuser found out. This leaving them to stay silent about what is happening.
In 2010, the most recent year for which national child maltreatment statistics are available, about 3.3 million reports were made to child protective services concerning the safety and well-being of approximately 5.9 million children. As a result of these reports, a nationally estimated 695,000 unique count of children were found to be victims of child abuse or neglect.
A history of child abuse or neglect has been associated with increased risk of mental illness, substance abuse, developmental of disabilities and learning problems, social problems with other children and with adults, teen pregnancy, lack of success in school, alcohol and other drug use, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc.
Kenny Guinn once said, "I believe the best service to the child is the service closest to the child, and children who are victims of neglect, abuse, or abandonment must not also be victims of bureaucracy. They deserve our devoted attention, not our divided attention."
Our aim is to spread the message, to make you hear the cries of the abused children, to free them from a life of abuse and trauma. We need your help
