omg i hope they are well too, those people should have checked on them anyway! the nerve needing proof, i had some neighbors who hurt their kids when i lived in philadelphia, fortunatly the athorities did step in, all the neighbors had videos of them washing the kids in hoses in winter and locking them in cars on days of 100 degrees, so sad, burns me up people who hurt kids!

Karoody
I'm glad somebody is writing about this subject and so well. Reading your last poem has set me off down your list. I love children and worked for many years in the scout movement particularly while reading Social Science at university 1948-1950. (having returned from RAF service). Child abuse was not so publicised then)

I just write (on YPDC) about a "happy" family.
People seem to like an amusing alternative to the more serious problems I find hard to handle

I'll carry on down your list over the next few days. I like your style very much
