"Renowned psychiatrist Karl Menninger said, "What we do to our children, they do to society."...
"A good place to begin getting info is the October 2011 BBC documentary, “America’s Child Death Shame.”* Also, the monumental ACE study conducted by the CDC and Kaiser shows adverse childhood experiences are major risk factors for the leading causes of illness, death and poor quality of life in the US. Progress in preventing and recovering from the nation's worst health and social problems will benefit from understanding these problems. According to the research, ACE increases risk for: alcoholism, COPD, depression, fetal death, illicit drug use, heart disease, liver disease, partner violence, STD, smoking, suicide, obesity and teen pregnancies.” As a survivor of 15 years of torture-level abuse, – I know it is curable and preventable!
