Two adults held after child is found with fingers burned, missing - Fort Lauderdale

Abuse of any human being, should be treated as harshly as murder. An abuser has no mercy, no conscience, nor remorse. Lock-up conditions for life behind closed doors is the solution for a person that makes a choice to hurt or abuse a child, an adult or the elderly.

Deathnell J,

AGREE! But, the system will make excuses: "No space in the overcrowded prison system".

"No placement available for the child".

All excuses are UNACCEPTABLE! At all times!!!!!

Investigators and states are afraid of laible suits. Teachers don't want to take chances. Families "see" abuse and don't want to extend themselves. All the while, the children are abused in all of the ways listed on the charts. Abuse at all points has got to STOP! Deter the abuser, with long term prison time and make the paper STICK!

I know elderly women, that spent their years in marriages, where the husbands were abusive to them and to the children. Now, in their 80's, these women speak out, as they know they can. The hurts that they held inside, because NO one accepted the idea then that a spouse/a father would abuse existed.

It is a world now, where we see too much anger...too much abuse and too many deaths. No more secrets. The "times" have changed.
