If you have read our previous blogs and you are starting to feel the same sense of helplessness and rage towards the injustices of this world that often goes unnoticed, you are on the right track.
We need these negative emotions that are stirring inside us to fuel our drive to fight for change. We need to want desperately for these children's lives to be better than the circumstances they have no control over being in. So what do we do now? How can we fight? There are many ways to help. If you feel that you can only summon the courage to notify your supervisor when you notice that something is amiss regarding a child's behaviour or appearance, then do it. If you feel that you want to educate and inform more people about what child abuse is and what signs to look for, then do it. All of our efforts, regardless of its apparent impact, will make a difference. The Butterfly Effect, in simple terms, is the theory that one's small act can generate a larger change in the world. The idea that the flutter of a butterfly's wing can inspire a tornado on the other side of the world. As crazy as that sounds, I have the firm belief that we as humans have the same, if not greater, power to create a large impact. With that in mind, what will you choose? Will you choose to allow your eyes to drift across these words like another advertisement on the street? Or will you choose to dedicate even a small portion of your entire life's time doing SOMETHING to fight against children being abused? Their abusers will not wait for you. Their abusers will continue on each day abusing them. In fact, 5 children will have died because of child abuse on the day you stumble across this blog. 5 more will die because of child abuse the day after you read this and another 5 will die on the day after. So act now. Your actions CAN make a difference.
