Tragically, throughout history, children have been used, abused, exploited, indoctrinated, mutilated, experimented on, sacrificed, deprived, neglected, unloved, and removed from their mother at birth or a young age. It is not easy to rectify this kind of ugliness, but for the sake of our children and future, we must bring it to the light and address it!
Least we forget the history of first born son’s being sacrificed; female babies being discarded; A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (England); Rabbit Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington (Australia); genitalia mutilation of both baby boys (circumcision) and girls (clitoral removal) by religious zealots; sexual abuses and indoctrinations at schools (global); the death of hundreds of Indian/indigenous children in Canadian boarding schools, to name a few?
Sadly, these abuses, atrocities, and crimes against children are ongoing! However, recent exposés on these diabolical abuses, atrocities, and crimes against children are steps in the right direction.
Children are among our most important people because they are our future. How a culture or country treats its children and women reveals a lot about its character and future potential.
