In the Gospels, Jesus said "Suffer the little
children unto me". This was an example to love and
cherish children, to let them experience the love of God.
Jesus showed us and them that children are precious gifts to
be treasured . Sadly today, children are all to often
neglected, abused and murdered. 
As a society we hear the stories on the news and say
"that is terrible, what a shame" but we insulate
ourselves and once the story is over it is quickly forgotten.
But sometimes a story comes along that sparks a public outcry.
It captures the media and public interest, politicians make
speeches and awareness is raised and cries of
"Never again" are heard. The fervor soon dies……as
does more children.
