This is a touchy subject, but one that I have strong feelings about. I love kids. I loved my childhood. There is such wonderful magic to childhood. How delightful it is to hear the laughter of little people who have yet to be tainted by the world. A price cannot be placed on the value of childhood innocence, and in a perfect world, every child would remain innocent far beyond what society forces on us today. Many children have their innocence stolen from them at a very early age. Young girls and boys alike are being forced into environments that are not even appropriate for hardened adults. Abuse is rampant. Young teen runaways are forced to sell the only valuable “commodity” they own, merely to survive. We must ramp up awareness of the despicable crimes against children and continue to defend those who cannot protect themselves. This is my attempt to do just that... or at least draw more attention to it.
