I was watching the national news and there was an update on the fighting in Syria. Many innocent people are being killed and that is truly a tragedy.
One of the newscasters made a point of stressing the fact that almost 400 children have been killed in the past 10 months. During that same time period, almost 1,500 children have been killed as a result of child abuse in the United States. While the children who die in Syria deserve our concern, why don’t the news media provide information on the child abuse deaths in the U.S.?
These children die horrible deaths at the hands of people who should be caring for them. I would like to see headlines stating the problem and making the public aware so that some effort is made to lower the incidence of abuse.
