Voicing against child abuse

Dear Sir

Our kids are physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually abused on a daily basis to an extent that they are too afraid to speak up about it. This is mainly because they realize that the adults around them are not doing anything to prevent it. Child abuse is a problem that affects everyone, and so everyone needs to take a stand against it.
This happens in many communities. There are men who continuously, for years, molest young girls and even have children with them, but no one says anything. We have gotten so used to it that this social evil does not bother us anymore.
When such incidents happen, the man feels protected and so he does it again and again, and only when he does it to someone we care about do we finally decide to get angry about it. Well, I say we are all to be blamed for child abuse. If you remain quiet when it happens to others, it is your fault. Do not let any more of our kids suffer because of our silence. Speak out against child abuse!
