Helping Children...

Hi y'all, I would like to join hands across America to make this great nation of ours into a much safer and happier place for all children. There are so many abused and discarded kids that I've cared for an a RN. It's sad and frightening to see so many of them fall between the cracks!
You need a license for marriage, fishing, hunting, boating, driving a car, piloting a plane and perhaps even jaywalking in some states! But you don't need a license or any preparation to be a parent! I propose a bill to be introduced through the Senate and Congress to have a mandatory subject added to school, Grades K through college. A bill that will teach them how to get along with their fellow human beings and, as they get older, classes on being a good parent! Also stronger laws making it a felony with a mandatory sentence of 10-20 years for proven child abuse! I mean proven without a shadow of a doubt!
I have seen horrendous examples of child abuse. A baby who's mother decided he should die because he had a spinal cord problem. She put him into an oven to burn him alive! I had to take care of him till he died with burns over most of his body! Or the 17 yr old boy who sat down into scalding hot water because his mother ordered him to do it! He did too because he needed his mother's "love"! No splash marks either! He very nearly died! There are so many gruesome things that these "parents" think up for these kids! It needs to stop now!
Perhaps when we clean up our own back yard, we can continue to show the world what must be done to protect their own children too! It's got to start with our lawmakers! We need as many people as possible to write to their own representatives...by e-mail preferably...I've heard that handwritten letters are routinely treated for Anthrax and are no longer readable! Write by e-mail and tell your representatives you've had enough about child abuse and that , if they want to keep being your reps, they must pass a bill doing the above outlined things! Tell them if they don't you will not vote for them to even be dog-catchers again! We need this introduced ASAP and nothing but "yes' votes will be tolerated! No "abstaining" votes either, as that's the same as 'No"! Thanks, for the children we will save from present and future abuse!
