Hello Kathy
Thanks for bringing this to everybody's attention. Child abuse is a very serious problem all around the world. There is a facet of this crises that is often ignored by the government as well as by most people.
Mental illness plays a big role in child abuse. Also, it is something that is passed on from one generation to the next. People who abuse children have more often than not been abused themselves. There are many types of mental disorders that are complicit in the child abuse syndrome and if people with these disorders could be diagnosed and treated properly, child abuse could be all but eliminated in the civilized world.
Our entire system of health care needs to be restructured so it includes an integrated treatment program for mental ,as well as physical disorders. As long as mental health continues to be ignored, physical health will be threatened.
Please support your local mental health agencies and write to your political leaders and ask them to sponser bills promoting mental health.
May a smile follow you to sleep each night,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and be there waiting,,, when you awaken.
Sincerly, Bill Vanderbilt
