The Horrible thing that happens everyday!

Children dying...yes its true. Everyday 20% of the children die in our world. Maybe because of lack of health, or emotionally. But the most common thing is Child Abbuse and Kidnapping! A couple days ago...a child was snatched from the playground and is not yet found.

Here is a case of child abuse:
In what sheriff's investigators say is the worst case of child abuse they have ever seen, a Carnation woman allegedly kept food and water from her stepdaughter for years, leaving the 14- year-old girl malnourished, dehydrated and weighing less than 50 pounds when she was discovered.







Child abuse is a complex problem which has multiple causes. Understanding the causes of abuse is crucial to addressing the problem of child abuse. Parents who physically abuse their spouses are more likely to physically abuse their children. However, it is difficult to know whether marital strife is a cause of child abuse, or if both the marital strife and abuse are caused by tendencies in the abuser.

Substance abuse is a major contributing factor to child abuse. One study found that parents with documented substance abuse, most commonly alcohol, cocaine, and heroin, were much more likely to mistreat their children, and were also much more likely to reject court-ordered services and treatments.
Another study found that over two thirds of cases of child maltreatment involved parents with substance abuse problems. This study specifically found relationships between alcohol and physical abuse, and between cocaine and sexual abuse.

Cultural norms about what constitutes abuse vary widely: among professionals as well as the wider public, people do not agree on what behaviors constitute abuse.

Some human service professionals claim that cultural norms that sanction physical punishment are one of the causes of child abuse, and have undertaken campaigns to redefine such norms.

Resources for child protection services are sometimes limited. According to Hosin (2007), "a considerable number of traumatized abused children do not gain access to protective child protection strategies." Briere (1992) argues that only when ???lower-level violence??? of children ceases to be culturally tolerated will there be changes in the victimization and police protection of children.

In the United States, the National Association of Social Workers has issued statements that even the mildest forms of physical punishment, such as moderate spanking, can lower children's self-esteem, constitute acts of violence, and teach children that physical force is an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. Against this latter argument, the philosopher Prof. David Benatar points out that one might as well say that fining people teaches that forcing others to give up some of their property is an acceptable way to respond to those who act in a way that one does not like. "If beatings send a message, why don't detentions, imprisonments, fines, and a multitude of other punishments convey equally undesirable messages?" He adds that "there is all the difference in the world between legitimate authorities -- the judiciary, parents, or teachers -- using punitive powers responsibly to punish wrongdoing, and children or private citizens going around beating each other, locking each other up, and extracting financial tributes (such as lunch money). There is a vast moral difference here and there is no reason why children should not learn about it. Punishing children when they do wrong seems to be one important way of doing this."

In the United Kingdom, sociology professor Frank Furedi suggests that many advocates of a total ban on physical punishment are actually against all forms of punishing children. He sees the underlying agenda as an anti-parent crusade, and argues that the much-cited Murray Straus research is far less clear-cut than the claims made on its behalf by what he calls "anti-smacking zealots".




It happens and its horrible!!!! Please...help stop it! Copy and paste this whole thiing into your blog...and plz comment about how ridiculous child abbuse can be!

The love that never ends

Sarah was a cheerleader on the team and had everything she ever wanted.
Until one day... her life crashed.







Mom: Wake up honey. Chris is downstairs waiting for you.

Sarah: Oh my gosh. I woke up too late! I still need a shower and everything!




Right when she said that Chris walked into her room smiling from ear to ear.





Chris: No baby. You're beautiful just like that- now come on, I'm starving.

Sarah: Okay.




Sarah got out of bed, put on some clothes, took his hand, and walked out the door to his car and got in.




Sarah: Where are we going? Remember that I have to be home by 1. I have cheerleading practice and you have football.

Chris: I know..


Then Sarah noticed that Chris was really pale-looking.



Sarah: Chris are you feeling okay? You look like you're sick..

Chris: Yeah; it's just my allergies.

Sarah: Are you sure? Did you go to the doctor yet?

Chris: Yeah.. I went yesterday. They just said to take some allergy pills and that I'll be okay.



Sarah turned to look away from Chris.
She knew there was something wrong.
She has allergies and she doesn't look like that.
Then he reached out and held her hand.




Sarah: Chris your hands are so cold. I don???t think you're okay tell me what's really wrong.. do we need to go back to the house?

Chris: I promise you baby; everything is okay.. they told me to go back tomorrow but I'm not going because there's nothing wrong with me.

Sarah: Chris you need to go! If they told you to then there is something wrong!




Chris let go of her hand and turned back to the road and didn't talk to her the rest of the way.
Sarah just looked at him.
They finally pulled up to the restaurant and ate breakfast.




Chris: Did you bring your cheerleading stuff or do we have to go back to your house to get it?

Sarah: I have it.. do you really think you should go to football practice like that ?

Chris: Yes Sarah. I'm fine.

Sarah: If you say so..

Chris: Sarah, baby, would I lie to you?

Sarah: No...






They got back in the car and went to the field.
They got out and started practice.
Sarah was practicing a new cheer, but then out of no where she heard a boy yell,



"HE'S NOT MOVING SOMEONE CALL 911! HELP COACH!"


Right when she heard that she turned around and saw Chris on the ground just laying there, not moving.
She ran to him but her dad pushed her back.






Dad: No honey. You shouldn't be right here.




Sarah started to cry.




Sarah: Daddy. What happened? Is he okay?

Dad: Honey. Please just go back with your coach.





Sarah walked back and sat on the bench with her head in her hands while an ambulance came and took him away.
She got in the car with her dad and they went to the hospital.
When they got there his mom was already there and talking to the doctor.
They walked over and listened...




Doctor: You may want to sit down for this.

Chris's Mom: Is he okay?

Doctor: Ma'am.. your son has leukemia. We can put him on treatments, but he might not make it because the cancer has already spread too much.






Sarah was shocked and began to cry on her dads shoulder.





Chris's Mom: Treatments?

Doctor: Well the treatments would cause hair loss... but it will help slow the cancer down.

Chris's Mom: But he's certain to die?

Doctor: Yes.. but we have had this surgery to clear out the clogs.. but it's possible that he will not make it.

Chris's Mom: I will have to talk to him about this. Can we see him now?

Doctor: Yes. One at a time though.







Chris's mom looked over at Sarah and hugged her tight she knew that Sarah loved him with all her heart.







Chris's Mom: You go first sweetheart.

Sarah: Are you sure?

Chris's Mom: Yes honey.





Sarah walked slowly to his room and turned the knob.
She just stood there, looking at him lying there weak.
He was so pale and he had tubes surrounding him.
It was painful for her to look at him.
Chris looked at her and weakly smiled at her.
She went over and kneeled down beside him.






Chris: Did they already tell you?

Sarah: Yes...

Chris: I'm sorry Sarah. I didn't want you to find out like this.

Sarah: It's okay; I understand Chris.

Chris: Baby I love you so much.

Chris reached up and slowly ran his fingers through her hair.

Sarah: I love you too Chris. With all my heart.. and I will be here for you 'till the end.

Chris: I???m going to be okay Sarah.



The nurse walked in with Chris's mom.






Nurse: Its her turn now.


Chris looked at Sarah.




Chris: Bye baby.

Sarah: Bye.



Sarah kneeled down and softly kissed his cold lips.

Months went by and Chris lost his hair, but they were still deeply in love and Sarah was by him everyday.
Chris was getting worse to where he couldn't even play football, and the championship game was coming up.

Chris was sitting on Sarah's porch with her and her dad.





Chris: Coach.. I wanna play tomorrow.

Dad: Chris I know you do.. but I can't let you do that.. you'll get hurt.





Chris: No, coach. Please. This might be the last time on the field for me. I want to be able to play one more time.





Dad looked at Chris and then at Sarah.
Sarah nodded her head.







Dad: You're a strong boy, Chris, and very brave. I think we can do this.

Chris: Thank you so much coach.





Sarah???s dad nodded his head.





Dad: So what are you two doing tonight?

Chris: I wanna show Sarah something if that's okay.

Dad: Of course; you two be careful.




Chris took Sarah's hand and lead her to his car.
It was completely dark outside when they pulled up to the football field.




Sarah: What are we doing here?

Chris: Follow me.






Chris grabbed a blanket and laid it down onto the field.
They both laid there looking at the stars.








Sarah: This is so beautiful.

Chris: I do this often. I wanted to show you the place I love.

Sarah: Do you remember the flowers you gave me on our very first date?

Chris: Sure I do; I gave you lilies; your favorite.

Sarah: Yeah... I'll never forget that day.

Chris: I want you to always remember something Sarah.

Sarah: What is it?

Chris: I will always be with you.. and I will always love you.. you're my one and only..





Sarah started tearing.




Sarah: I love you so much, Chris.

Chris: And I also want you to be happy.. I want you to marry someone, have kids, make a family, just live a happy life for me.

Sarah: No. I will never marry anyone.. I???m marrying you Chris

Chris: Just don't forget what I told you.




Chris leaned in and kissed her.
She pushed him off and jumped up




Sarah: You still think you can catch me?

Chris: Oh yeah. I'm stronger than I look.

Sarah: Then come get me.





Chris stood up and chased her around the football field until he finally caught her.
He laid on top of her and put her hands behind her back and held her there so she couldn't move.
Then it started to rain and they were getting soaked but they didn't care.





Chris looked deep into her eyes.

Chris: Who's the weak one now huh?

Sarah: Me (she giggled)

Chris: Remember what you told me that night when we were at dinner?

Sarah: No.. what?

Chris: You have always wanted to kiss in the rain with the one you love.

Sarah: Yeah?

Chris: Well your wish is my command.






Chris leaned down and kissed her deeply.
He pulled away.






Chris: You're so beautiful.

Sarah: You're such a good kisser. (she laughed.. so did he)

Chris: I better get you home.




They got into the car and went home.
It was hard for them to sleep that night but they did.
It was finally the big day and they were all at the football field.
Chris had on all his football gear, and Sarah was ready to cheer him on.
The game began.
The crowd was going wild for Chris while Sarah was cheering her heart out for him.
The score was 36 to 36.
All they had to do was make one more point and they would win.
Chris had the ball and ran with all he had to the touchdown line and threw the ball down.
He had made a touch down!
Everyone was cheering.
They had won the game!
But for Chris.. he may have lost his life.
He fell to the ground trying to catch his breath.
Sarah ran to him and kneeled down over him.
He looked up at her gasping for breath.
Everyone was heading to the field.
Her dad stood in front of them.





Dad: Back away.. give them a moment please.. that's my daughter's love.

Chris gently raised his hand and whipped her tears away.

Sarah: Don't die Chris.. I need you.. I love you..

Chris: I told you this was my dream to win the championship.. to be in the big game.. to die on this field.. I made history.




Sarah leaned down and kissed him, knowing this was the last she would ever kiss him, the last time she would ever talk to him.
She had so much to say but had no time to say it.




Chris: I love you baby. Tell Mom I love her too.. and tell coach thank you.

Sarah: I love you Chris. I love you so much.

Chris: I'll wait for you.....




Chris's hand dropped and he let go.
He died that night on the football field.
Sarah cried for 2 months straight.
Sarah was lying on her bed when her dad walked in.



Dad: Honey, it's been 2 months. Please get up. He would want you to have fun and be happy.

Sarah: I know..

Dad: Guess what.

Sarah: What?

Dad: They are building a new stadium. Isn't that great honey? Come on, I want you to come with me before they tear the old one down.






Sarah got up and went with her dad to the field.
They climbed to the top of the bleachers and looked down.





Sarah: It's like it was just yesterday. He was out there throwing the football, making that touchdown.




Her dad wrapped his arms around her and she began to cry.





Dad: I know baby.. I know.

Then Sarah noticed something on the field.

Sarah: What???s that daddy? Look. (Sarah pointed to the field)

Dad: Looks like some flowers are blooming.

Sarah: Oh my gosh, daddy! Stop them! Don't let them tear this down! Please! Chris planted me something!!!





Her dad ran down there and stopped them.
Weeks later the flowers had bloomed.
Her and her dad went to look at them.
They were lilies that left a message saying, "I Love You".





If you have any heart at all and love someone this much repost this.

Why Drink and Drive

Dear mom:

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put Daddy's Girl on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish i could say
I love you and Goodbye
