I ask everyone who cares about the issues of child abuse, and the protection of children to take the 15 minute challenge. Whether you set a timer for 15 minutes, or just watch the clock, I ask you to take 15 minutes .. to think about how much we can do in 15 minutes, or how little, but what each 15 minutes looks like to a child who is being beaten, burned, sexually abused, raped, and sodomized. 15 minutes is not a lot of time to most people. Waiting for the coffee to perk, going out to pick up the newspaper, waiting in traffic during rush hour, waiting in a grocery store line up, brushing your teeth and catching some of the late night news before bed time. But 15 minutes to a child who is being abused in any way can have tragic and fatal consequences. 15 minutes of a child being sexually abused, raped, and sodomized will change their lives forever. While the perpetrators of the abuse, the child sexual predators, the paedophiles, the family members, and other members of our society get their 15 minutes of gratification, the child is impacted with physical problems, emotional problems and psychological problems .. for life. 15 minutes to a child who is being abused in any way is a life sentence. 15 minutes is how long it took for my abuser to bind and gag me, rape and sodomize me, sexually abuse me. And while this person got their 15 minutes of sexual gratification, I got a life sentence of pain in every way. All it took was 15 minutes to turn an 8 year old girl into a sex toy for my abuser. Children cannot wait 15 minutes for someone to protect them, for someone to care, for something to be done. Please take 15 minutes every now and then, and put yourself in an abused child's body and mind and remember why so many of us are fighting so hard to save them. Thanks for all you do to help stop child abuse and save children's lives. Laurie Ann Smith President, Advocates United For Humanity advocatesunited4humanity.weebly.com Comments are closed.
