-Investigative Report-
As an adult, one should keep in mind that child abuse prevention is everyone’s responsibility worldwide; therefore, each and everyone should keep a sharp lookout for any neglect appearance and/or verbal abuse; but most importantly, physical and emotional harm that will bring mental disruption into the child’s well-being, which is the nation’s future. Infrequently, and perhaps by accident “childhood poisoning is a leading cause of pediatric injury in the United States.”
The main reason why one should choose such an interesting topic is because a child is the scintillate of a great nation. If one sees something wrong with a helpless child, not only mentally challenged but physically hurt, one should remember the “first description of the battered child; a described a syndrome involving young children with specific physical injuries and the possibility of death. For instance, the majority of injuries included long bone fractures, subdural hematomas, and nutritional wasting.”
Safeguarding for the nation’s most valuable treasure, our kids, will eventually pay-off for the sacrifices of looking after and directing them into the right path to God’s kingdom and willingness.
Consequently, having the future leaders of a nation, kids—physically, mentally or emotionally disturbed would be like improperly feeding or training a racing horse of the Kentucky Derby Race Track for future events. Consequently, choosing such a vital topicwould keep everyone walking on eggshells due to the delicate position that every parent face when being part of a family whose children’s safekeeping should become a number one priority.
