Abuse inflicted upon a minor, whether physical, sexual or emotional, is a depraved act, which can cause that child to suffer from lifetime consequences of the abuse, both physical and emotional. Children have rights that are to be protected from horrendous invasions such as this. If you are someone you know is the victim of abuse, contact local authorities. Contacting authorities will prompt a criminal investigation and more than likely stop the abuse sooner rather than later.
