I agree with this.We should protect our kids.The abuse is a serious problem and a lawyer could not prevent the psychological impact.I was once in a court and I saw Joel Schwartz.You can find more informations about him on www.JoelHSchwartz**.*com.

I really don't understand how someone (a parent, someone close to the child) can abuse a child! I hope that they get what they deserve! I have a three month old baby who still eats all day long infant formula and just looking at him makes me smile. How does a parent manage to hit such a wonderful creature.
