EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).
 When people think about child abuse they do not know that there are "over 3 million reports of child abuse are made every year in the United States; however, those reports can include multiple children". They sometimes thing it is about 1 million people.
"In 2009, 3.3 million child abuse reports and allegations were made involving an estimated 6 million children"; this is an example of multiple children being abused every report.
Child reports are very frequent and people are unaware that "a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds".
There can be a cure for child abuse but we have to protect and cure the kids that are going through child abuse today because "about 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse".
Child abuse hurts the kid in the long run because there was a test and "about 80% of 21 year old's that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder".
