- Keep Your Child Safe From Abuse
By: Connie Allen | - Recent headline news in Mountain View, my home town, is about a soccer coach who allegedly sexually assaulted three of his young nieces when they were 7 and 9 years old. The incidents allegedly occurred at family events or when their uncle was babysitting them.

- An Example Of Sadism: Scourging A Child
By: Dr. Heyward Ewart | - This category of corporal punishment includes the use of any instrument to inflict pain by whipping, whether by use of an actual whip, a switch, a belt, or another flexible weapon. Because this form of abuse is no less than torture and thus fully exposes sadism in extreme cases, and because visual tissue injury is visible, these victims are kept away from doctors. Otherwise, the secrecy is fairly easy to maintain, since usually the strokes are delivered to the buttocks and/or legs and are there ...
