Child Abuse- Children Don’t Deserve It
A 7-month-old is found in an El Paso lodge... The baby’s mother and her boyfriend are
charged in her death. ~ A 2-year old girl is found dead in an eastside apartment, badly
beaten to death.  Her 4-year old brother is also badly beaten, but he survives.   ~Yet
another death: a 2-year old girl is found in the trunk of a car.  The baby’s mother and
her boyfriend are arrested.  These are just three of the child abuse deaths in El Paso’s
recent past.  There have been several others.

Child Abuse and Neglect- A Preventable "Disease"
Think of six little children you know and love.  Which one would you be OK five boys you
know.  Which one would you be OK with being sexually abused?  A third of all girls and a
fifth of boys are sexually abused by an adult during childhood.  Last year in El Paso, an
average of 6 children per day were confirmed of being abused/neglected (total of 2,337
children were abused in 2010, some were abused repeatedly).  That doesn’t include
the hundreds of abused and neglected children that go unconfirmed or unreported every
year.
