CHILD ABUSE IS A MAJOR NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WHICH IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN! THIS WEBSITE WILL HELP EDUCATE YOU & GIVE YOU THE KNOWLEDGE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CHILD ABUSE. OFTEN CHILDREN & TEENS ARE ABUSED BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO THEM SUCH AS FAMILY, FRIENDS, BABYSITTERS, DAYCARE PROVIDERS, NEIGHBORS, TEACHERS, COACHES, PRIESTS, AND EVEN THEIR OWN PARENTS! THESE ARE THE VERY PEOPLE THAT OUR CHILDREN SHOULD FEEL THE SAFEST WITH. EVERYDAY IN THE UNITED STATES THOUSAND OF CHILDREN ARE ABUSED.
THAT ADDS UP TO MILLIONS OF CHILDREN EACH YEAR!
CHILD ABUSE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE,
BUT IT IS REALITY..... 
THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL TORTURE THAT PEDOPHILES ARE PUTTING OUR CHILDREN THROUGH IS BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSION. OUR CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP IN A WORLD THAT ALLOWS THE VERY PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THEM TO ABUSE THEM--WITH ONLY A "SLAP ON THE WRIST"

IT'S TIME TO GET ANGRY ABOUT CHILD ABUSE IN OUR NATION!!
When a child is a victim of abuse
their world has changed forever.
They may have loved their abuser and the abuser turned
the relationship into something sadistic and cruel.
The victim of abuse is likely to feel very confused.
How can they sort out feelings of affection they have for their abuser with the sick and disgusting act that was done to them.
Feelings that result from abuse should not be buried away.
As painful as it is, victims must learn how to talk about their experience and share their pain with others.
Finding meaning in suffering is the road to healing. ***PLEASE VISIT OUR DOMAIN SITE*** www.dreamcatchersforabusedchildren.com
