Abuse is happening to men as well as women. Did you know that the same federal stats that show over a million women abused each year also show over 837,000 men are victims of abuse as well? And that’s just the physical abuse. There is also sexual, emotional, psychological abuse. Even spiritual abuse is going on in too many churches like under Eddie Long, the pedophile who should be in jail for child molestation.

You might also be interested to know that over 95% of the time kids are awarded to the mother in a divorce yet reputable stats show that child abuse is 16% higher when the mom is the custodial parent than when the dad is the custodial parent. These stats are kept from the public in order to sway public opinion in favor of the female. NOBODY SHOULD BE HIT or ABUSED.

Then there is the issue of child abuse because so many of you use violence as a means of disciplining your children. Neglect is swept under the rug far too often and many parents do not know where discipline stops and where abuse starts.
