Thought Of The Day

Statistics

The following are just actual cases that were reported so you can at least more than double the numbers if not more.

Durring 2004 1,490 Children died from abuse or Neglect based on data provided from the State Child Welfare Informantion Systems.

An estimated 872,000 were actually abused.

So to me this statement has profound meaning, We can do so much more.

Twenty-five years of observation has also told me that criminals are more "made" than "born," which means that somewhere along the line, someone who provided a profound negative influence could have provided a profound positive one instead. So what I truly believe is that along with more money and police and prisons, what we most need more of is love. This is not being simplistic; it's at the very heart of the issue...-
