FULL STORY

I left a nice comment there-

Another parent's response-

The "problem" with REAL child abuse is nowhere nearly as huge as it is being portrayed. The reason why we are seeing SO MANY stories about the subject is "April is Child Abuse Awareness Month".

If people took all this propaganda seriously, a pandemic of bogus reporting would be the result. It's not as if there isn't already a pandemic. Historically, Eighty-Five percent of all reports end up being UNFOUNDED. FALSE.

See my Editorial from last year- "85% of all child abuse reports are unfounded"-http://bit.ly/fwGrqd

"Since most referrals come from professionals, the fact that three-quarters were eventually judged unsubstantiated or otherwise disposed of is troubling. The public is very distrustful of anything that appears to be a witch-hunt when it come to child abuse; therefore, over reporting damages the system's credibility and also wastes resources; at the same time under reporting leaves the victims at risk. This figure appears to indicate the need for better means of identification and some additional professional training." - Marty Richman 4-5-2011

"Eighty-one percent of all abuse last year was neglect, a percentage that has changed little in recent years. Neglect refers to a denial of critical care, defined as the failure of a caretaker to provide adequate food, shelter, clothing or other care necessary for the child's health and welfare when the caretaker is financially able to do so or is offered financial or other reasonable means to do so".* --LEE ROOD 4-2-2011 (*A.K.A "Reasonable Efforts", which IS NOT HAPPENING)

When will people finally get sick and tired of being duped by the child kidnapping industry?

We say "April is Family Abuse Awareness Month".
