A report released today shows that 10,440 children in the U.S. are known to have died from abuse and neglect between 2001 and 2007, but experts say the real number may be as much as 50 percent higher. The difference is due to varying definitions of abuse

Sadly, this is a problem worldwide. Mankind in general is a primitive and morally low race and is developing backwards concerning values that are needed for a society or a race to survive and keep peace and freedom. Evil powers use their influence to make people rougher, tougher and more and more brutal and cruel without having any compassion. The one who is consciously watching what is going on in the media and the way media is taking over the public’s mind, taste for things, moral, taste for fashion, sex and cruelty, sees very clear how the media and our governments manipulate people to get more and more aggressive, dumb without any sensitivity and feelings for others. The result of this progress can be seen in daily life. Many children disappear especially in the US without that anyone knows what happened to these children. In general the life of a person is losing value on planet earth at the moment. Child abuse is one of many life ignoring problems, a part of a syndrome that affects a big part of the world’s population. In our society we learned that the value of life is defined by the value of money a person has, or the value that can be made with life dead or alive. Example: I can take the milk of a cow and sell (Cow alive), or I can kill the cow and sell the meat. Both makes money, and in both cases the life of the cow has been ignored. This dead or alive mentality is pushing man deeper and deeper into a hell of material thinking. As humans define matter and money equal without considering moral and ethic, humans do not see any problem to destroy in order to gain money, which can be exchanged for the only value that people still have in mind as a desire: MONEY. - It may be that you might not have understood what money and matter has to do with child abuse, but both are connected because one affects the other by the way the desire for matter is the first interest and anything else becomes 2nd importance for many people. If this behavior, trying to fill the own personal emptiness by material desire (sex, violence, abuse etc.) is so strong that it needs very strong experiences to satisfy needs that have been developed into the extreme world, - the child abuse is getting a goal for this kind of empty people. If a society thinks that making new laws and installing harder punishment can solve the problem, - then this is the same illusion like thinking that the death penalty can stop crime. - Thank you dear Kelli...

We have to include educating our young people as to the every day living adversities and how to handle them as well as science, advanced math, biology, physica and so on. They have to be prepared to deal with the mundane every things and what being part of a raising family means and the frustrations it brings and how to deal with them in a manner that is not abusive or cruel..
