I hope to do a series on the signs of child abuse but I am not yet prepared. Let this be a start.

I hope there is a really dark place at the end of a very short tunnel for this step-father. Child abuse has such a ripple effect!!!!

See why I wrote it? I have seen so much child abuse in my 30 years in Pediatrics, I had to put those people somewhere, so they could feel all the pain they have meted out to small children come back over and over for the rest of eternity.

I agree, but I hope they have a chance to be reincarnated so they can redeem themselves. I think a lot of abusers were once victims, it’s a viscous cycle.
