FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): 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". |
