Issues and Child Abuse



Everyone should give their opinion. I think that is why Mrs. Lemry invented the idea of the CAT class, Contemporary American Thought.

I would love to be an active part of this class. I really like to have my thoughts heard and also to hear others opinions. I think that to have your own opinion is good. I don’t mind if you agree with me but as long as you have your own thoughts about the subject I will listen to you. I would love a class where we got close to free reign. I think that people should be able to put in input but they should not be able to preach.



By writing this book, Crutcher has broken the age barrier in books. This book was not written for a specific age but rather for the human spirit.

Child Abuse is wrong; just like any other abuse.

About 84% of all prison inmates were abused as children. I think that this makes total sense. If you are raised with abuse in your family, of course you will relate that in your adulthood. If when you were younger and all you saw by your elders was fighting; not many people will forget that. If someone gets abused, then most likely they do not enjoy being with their parents or other close relations. They would have no role model to look up to.

On average of 1,200 babies each year suffer from (SBS), Shaken Baby Syndrome. Of course this is going to take a toll on children. This can mess you up in many ways.

About 50% percent of recorded child abuse cases were brought to attention by professionals in contact with the child. About 40% of all cases where the child was school age, their teachers were the helper.

Nice work! It really is sad to hear all of the statistics on child abuse. Some of them are quite shocking! I never thought about how many prison inmates were abused as children. I agree with your statement about how the book wasn't written for a certain age but for the human spirit. Good job on your blogs!

I know it's a depressing subject but I think that people need to hear about it. I'm not about making people sad or anything, but it is an occurring subject in the world. I think that people should understand that this is an issue and it has to be stopped. I don't think that people can expect child abuse to go "cold turkey" if you will but more steps should be taken than now.
