Protecting Our Children


I once heard on the news about a little 14 month old boy whose mother left him alone for days at a time. He was found when the apartment complex he was living in caught on fire.

He was rescued, but he was malnourished (his mom would stop by sometimes and leave him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches), and he had a bad diaper rash. His mom left the radio on to keep him company. Apparently it didn't work very well, because the dear little boy sucked the skin off his thumb.

How can this happen to our precious little children? I'm sure this kind of thing happens often. We need to raise awareness of this issue. Children need our help.
