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 fo

38 Things Girls Don't Realize

You HAVE to read all of them and if you don't you???re going to come across with problems in your relationship for the next month!

-Guys are more emotional then you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.

-Guys may be flirting around all day, but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

-Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

-Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

-Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest.
Unless they're going for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method

-A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

-Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

-Guys don't care how gorgeous you are, if you're a b---- Goodbye.

-Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?..uh...never mind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

-Girls are guys' weaknesses.

-Guys are very open about themselves.

-If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him.
You don't need to give advice

-A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you

-Guys love you more than you love them.

-Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls.
They rarely use beautiful or gorgeous.
If a guy uses that, he loves you or likes you a whole heck of a lot

-No matter how much guys talk about butts and boobs, personality is key.

-If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is zing inside

-When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

-When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually
saying, "Please come and listen to me"

-If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him.
It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something is up

-When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't.
It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to d

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 th

WOW

A boy liked a girl but wanted to make her jealous...

Then one day


things went terribly wrong.


The next few weeks


were like a very sad


song.


He made her jealous


on purpose he tried.


When the girl asked, "Do you love her?"


on purpose he lied.


He played with jealousy


like it was a game.


Little did he know


Things would never be the same.


His plan was working


but he had no clue.


How wrong things would go,


the damage he would do.


One night she broke down,


feeling very


alone.


Just her and the blade,


no one else home.


She dialed his number,


he answered, "Hello"


She told him she loved him


and hung up the phone.


He raced to her


house


just a minute too late.


Found her lying in blood


her heart


had no rate.


Beside her was a note,


in it her confession.


Her love for this boy,


her only obsession.


As he read the note,


he knelt down and cried.


Grabbed her knife,


that night they both died.


She was found in his arms,


both of them dead.


Under her


note


his handwriting said:


"I loved her so, she never knew.


All this time She loved me too."




If you do not repost this in 2 minutes you will lose


the


love of


your life and never get them back

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
