children

Every month should be Child Abuse Prevention Month. As a parent educator, mother of three children and former preschool teacher, I am appalled by the growing rate of child abuse, neglect, maltreatment and murders in our country and even in our own state of North Carolina. According to state statistics, abuse against children has increased almost each year, by as much as 40 percent or more! Country wide it is even higher.
