Tracy J Allen - A Child's Cry


I am writing this in regard to children everywhere who are crying out for our help. There are innocent children all over the world being victimized. What are we doing about it? The news is always telling us about those children who are being kidnapped, raped, and killed. What about the children we don't hear about?

It is amazing to me that this kind of thing goes on. Children are the innocence of the world. They are the new beginning, the present and the future of the world. They don't ask much, only to be fed, sheltered, clothed and protected. Why is that so difficult for some people?

You hear about parents who abuse their children. I ask you, "What could a child possibly do that is so horrible that you could even find it inside yourself to do such a thing?"

When I look at a child, I see the purity, love and kindness in the world. They reach out their little hand for guidance from us to teach them. They count on us to catch them when they fall, clean them up when they are dirty, feed them when they are hungry and lay our life on the line for them to keep the demons away.

Think about the children that are being abused right now, this very minute, that no one is aware of. They are locked in a closet, scared and starving. Then, while their insides are in knots and they are about to pass out from the torment they have somehow survived from, the angry abusive person comes back and starts hurting them again. "Why?"

They lie there crying inside, wondering what they did to make their mom, dad, uncle, sister, brother, friend or that stranger so mad at them. They promise never to do anything bad again, but their promises are unheard and the tormenting, starts all over again. I can't imagine what goes on in the mind of an abused child. They haven't lived a long enough life to even know the evils of the world. So, they continue to live in their own private nightmare.

I beg of everyone to keep their eyes and ears open. Watch your neighbors, friends, and family members. If something doesn't feel right in your gut, check it out. Our instincts guide us, and chances are they are right. Millions of children are silently praying for our help all over the world. We can't continue to ignore the urgency of this terrible crime.

Parents, if you need help, get it! Don't let your children suffer for your mental illness. If you think you have the demon inside that could ever take over and hurt your children, get them out of your house. Give them to someone who will care for them. If you have no one, take them to the nearest Police Department and drop them off. Don't allow your children to become a victim at your own hand.

Children don't have the privilege of choosing who their parents are, but parents have the responsibility to protect them. Even if you are the one they need protecting from.
