“She was happy until a day she came running into her room with tears in her eyes and felt nothing about herself. Days passed, bruises faded but the pain still remained inside her.”

We all love the affection and care we get from our parents and friends but many are not lucky as we are.They go through abandonment, physical and emotional abuse.They become the victims of child abuse.

Child Abuse — We hear about it everyday in the news.We read it, express our views and close the paper or switch to another channel, but have we ever done something to stop it? Why should we be angry about it when we are not involved in it? In reality we are involved in it. Sad but truth.We see a man beating a child but we just stand there and stare,we see students teasing a small child about his disabilities but we just stand there and stare.

A single matchstick can burn a whole forest.If just one of us takes a right step to stop this someone’s childhood won’t be a nightmare for him.
