II. Unfortunately for many children a day in life is something unwanted.
III. Every child deserves to have a happy and experience a perfect childhood. Most children wish for a trip to Disney or anywhere to visit. But in some cases a child could only wish for the love of a parent or a guardian.

The rate between boys and girl is nearly the same. B. Herbert Ward, a famous English soccer player, once said, “Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime.” Not only does child abuse physically and emotionally hurt during those young years of their life,
