I believe the reason no one else has answered is the same as my reason, but I figured I may as well tell you. I do not like to answer questions that expect me to “hit the blue line” before I do. I have been burned by viruses (virii?) too many times, and too many times simply found that the next thing wanted was my contact information. Then spam comes spewing out my email inbox like the owl post to Harry Potter in the first movie!
I love kids, and **** to think of them being abused, but I know that such a tear-jerker cause can be exploited shamelessly by people who are far more interested in their own agenda. I do not want to fall victim to those types anymore than I want kids to fall victim to any abuser.
There are also sensitive issues about false claims of abuse during heated divorce cases, people who consider the term “child abuse” a convenient buzz word every time a parent disciplines a child, however mildly, etc. There are people who would force parents to surrender their rights to their children to “security,” as our federal government has asked us to surrender our right to privacy to “security.” There are people who would shut down a day-care center on charges of abuse, when what they really want is to gain control over the children themselves.
It’s a mean, mean world out there, and I hope you are sincere. I’m not convinced this is the way to go about what you are trying to do (I hope) to help the kids themselves.
