Hello All You Caring Bloggers,

I feel this video should be watched and learned from.   We blog about many subjects here, but none is more important than this. 

 Awareness about child abuse has been on the rise and it's easier than ever to report it...but who is following up?  Friends, family, neighbors, doctors, nurses and schools report to the Sheriff/Police...They report to Social Services....Social Workers on the average have 40-60 cases to deal with...that's entirely too many.  Social/DHS/CPS Services are unfunded and understaffed in every State of the Union.  I believe 99% percent of S.W.'s are doing their job as best they can with what they are given, but they depend a hell of a lot on the judicial system to help keep the children in danger out of the home that put them in danger.

The link to the video is a prime example of a Judge not doing his job and the consequences it held for a beautiful two year child.  Personally I hold this man just as responsible for her death as I do the abusers.

If you suspect child abuse, PLEASE don't hesitate to report it, you can even do it anonymously...then follow up on it, make phone calls, ask the hard questions, check on the child if possible as much as possible until you feel you've REALLY done all you can!

This may be cliche but, Children are our greatest resource and our future.

In Peace & Hope For Our Children
