Children Matter
It is quite disturbing to hear in the news about people in the profession of caring, protecting, educating, empowering, supporting, and/or advocating for children are, instead, abusing, misusing, sexually exploiting, beating and/or kidnapping them.
We are in a profession that requires fingerprinting and other bureaucratic red tape to ensure that the right folks are working with children everyday.
It is disheartening when I hear of teachers, law enforcement or counselors are having sex or exploiting children for their own selfish pleasures. This has got to stop!!!!!
Children Matter!
They need us to put a hedge of protection around them and allow them to have safe, nurturing and prosperous lives.
If you are unable to fulfill this "calling", get out of the profession! It makes those of us who truly care about the health, safety and welfare of children look bad.
