Today I’m going to abuse my childT Abuse is not something we think about, it’s something we do. It runs against our nature, yet it comes naturally. It’s a major epidemic and a contagious one. Abused children often become abusive parents. Abuse perpetuates abuse. Child abuse is a major cause of death for children under two. Last year in America, an estimated one million children suffered physical, sexual or emotional abuse and ne glect (many cases go unreported). At least 2,000 died needless, pain ful deaths. And if you think child abuse is confined to any particular race, religion, income group or social stratum, you’re wrong. It’s everybody’s problem. What’s being done about pre vention? Not enough. Preventive fa cilities are simply inadequate. Most social agencies deal with abusers and their victims after the damage has been done. Child abuse doesn’t have to happen. Eighty percent of all abusers could be helped, with your help. Your community needs your aid in form ing crisis centers, self-help pro grams for abusers, and other grass roots organizations. Please. Please write for more information on child abuse and how you can help. What will you do today that’s more important? A Public Service of This Magazine & The Advertising Council I Goincil 1 jjg.
