"Child abuse 'widespread', UN says" - This reminds me of something...

[BlooInBloo]

... Just can't quite recall... Something close to home... In our nation's capital even...

"A four-year study to be presented in New York says many youngsters faced physical abuse that was either hidden or socially approved.

Almost six million children have been forced into work and many more have become prostitutes, the UN said."

No republican voter from this point on gets to complain about the existence of child abuse. Every republican vote is a vote in favor of enabling child abuse.


EDIT: Ack! Forgot link - apologies.

The Rights of the Child. They are Somalia..............and the United States.

4. Right on Jane. The US is also the only Western "Democracy" that

legally permits children to be beaten in public schools ie "corporal punishment." Almost all in the former slave states of the South where paddling began as a way to control slaves.
