we do have to do better here is an example for Michigan, I was born in this rural county, iosco. Here is the number of reports per 1000 kids (over 149) for 1 year only 2013 http://mobile.kidscount.org/Re...=1003&state=MI&loct= and here is the number confirmed 23 http://mobile.kidscount.org/Re...=1003&state=MI&loct= (in general child abuse cases are UNDER-REPORTED) in this case, for a problem that is already under reported only 15 % of reported cases are confirmed while millions of kids continue to suffer! Our bloated appetite for fast cars and huge houses while many children go w/o the basics in the this country will one day be looked upon poorly by God who will ask why we didn't love or care for his children? Why did we leave them homeless, loveless, beaten and sexually abused as we stayed in a home that 50 of these unloved and uncared for kids could live in and call home!!!
