Make a difference. Message from Dreamer and SunShines Mother
As a mom of 4 children and as a resident of Stewart county, I am appalled and shocked at the way too many children here have to live. I am amazed of the abuse children here suffer through daily that is allowed and unstopped. It is definitely not from many wanting to be able to do something, though. I know it hurts many others as much as it hurts me to know that until recently there was absolutely no help, support, guidance, or compassion shown through any accessible yet productive resource for any of the children who asked for or showed signs of needing serious help from reliable adults, outside of too few a number of concerned pastor families and good citizens.( SC finally has found a place for the Child Advocacy Center & SAC). I have seen and witnessed first hand too many times the appalling state which troubled kids here have to settle for living in. Some have no decent homes, no safe places to go, never regular healthy meals, and some lack the list of basic necessities on top of no adult supervision, some have no coherent adults they can rely on, no programs they can have access to, and no reason to think that what happens to them is going to have any consequence other than more people who don't care. Don't grimace; Does anyone here EVER listen to what the kids, teens and preteens have to say, REALLY? Does anyone ever put the effort into providing support and positive activities for anyone outside their circle of church groups or family? No. It's a fight for survival for most adults here, let alone for the children we have under our care.
Absolutely, There are not enough resources that teens, children, and even adults can TRULY trust to listen and help around here. There is definitely a sad lack of community spirit, let alone few activities centered around our youth, and very saddest of all, abuse is rampant, allowed, and TAUGHT every day here. Are you mad? Good. Do something positive with that energy. We are. We are starting this group.. Listen. Care. Help. Donate. Report. Stand up and fight against Child Abuse. Don't allow the chance for another child to be abused and help the ones being abused feel safe to stand up and ask for help. It's your fault, too. Doing nothing at all is as bad as committing the crime. Sometimes you are the only voice a child has. Please step up to the plate and use your voice.
Abuse is not a disease we can find a cure for, We can not stop it with a dollar amount, only Education, Advocacy, and Awareness is going to stop it. Let's start today and give back children who are being abused their childhood, youth, & innocence and stop it from happening to others.
