And they are just the ones we know about. These statistics have no place in 21st century Australia. What would happen if, in a single year, 33,000 Australian children became ill in an epidemic, with some children dying and many children being damaged for life? There would be a national outcry to intervene and stop it. Why isn’t there a similar outcry for children who have been abused or neglected? The abuse and neglect of children continues year after year, yet it seems no one hears these children. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Rosanna Martinello) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/33000-reasons-to-act-on-child-abuse/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/33000-reasons-to-act-on-child-abuse/#item3983 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:35:19 +0000 Rosanna Martinello | Author bios | The Punch
