More from fredvegerano
In this building, lives 44 families, including 22 children!
The daily bread, that these children receive from their parents is:
"You can't do anything right!"
"You never been born!!"
"Good for nothing!"
"Shut up, stupid!"
"You're a failure,I hate you!"
Of the 44 families living there,... only one said..." I love you!"
Why?
What is happening?
Only with love and compassion, will heal many wounded hearts!
"In 1999, an estimated 3,244,000 children were reported to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies as alleged victims of child maltreatment. Child abuse reports have maintained a steady growth for the past ten years, with the total number of reports nationwide increasing 45% since 1987 (Nation Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse (NCPCA) 2000 Annual Fifty State Survey)."

Thank you my friend and,this one I wanted to make it for a long time.Sorry if my work is like that.But in other way,you're right too!If we need to keep it up we need to focus our eyes in the possitive things...but without close our eyes to the sad reality too!Thanks from my heart!*hug*
Thank you from my heart my friend...I love to see a pic about the same subject from you...heee,heee...the building in my pic is a building with departments and where those families lives in...hmmm...and seeing my pic looks like a school building...lol!!*hug*
I know what you mean there fred, my father is an alcoholic, I can actually remember on certain weekends going out into the living room before everyone else had woken up and using the left over beer cans to make a three foot tall pyramid on the coffee table, and when I was little I can remember times where I got spanked just for peing the bed! as well as the times when he and my mother would get into stupid arguments about something small, even one time he actually pinned my mother to the wall by her throat over a dispute about the laundry!
sadly it took her passing to give my sister and I the courage to leave that house, nearly two years ago, I loved my mother very much and she helped me and my sister see the lighter side of everything, and may she rest in peace. *hugs back*

*hugs back* thanks fred, and yes it is, and now for something that's really helped me keep my spirits up in recent times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Wx230gYJw
I'm sure this will brighten up someone else's day as well

I like that street light! Most people don't stop and look at them! But I do!
That's a pretty tough apartment complex and those families with mean parents,need to seek family counseling!
Negative things done and said to a child,has a lasting affect on some of them.
Its amazing how some kids who grew up to become parents from broken families,should know how negative words hurt a child. But yet,it stills happens.
A lot of people forget they were children too. You see that on FA and in the real world!
Were all gonna be old someday and be back in diapers someday!
I as I said before,becoming a parent can be gift,a burden,or a mixture of both!
A couple just need to sit down and discus if they can withstand the pressure of being parents! 18 years is a loooooong time!
God help the ones that didn't plan on becoming parents,but did.
I'm glad that you help bring these unfortunate situations to light!
Maybe this will help someone change for the better,bring more people to help make a positive change and bring these sad statistics down!
We humans are suppose to be so smart and passionate,but it don't show all the time!

*hugs* You're doing a great job of being yourself and doing what intrest you!
The issue of any kind abuse should be out there in the mainstream media like everything else!
Shouldn't be hidden from nobody!
I'm glad you bring "reality" into your pics! Some people should know you can't "hide" from the truth!
Yeah I had a somewhat unhappy childhood. Having some real family and friends got me through it!
There shouldn't be any shame.
*hugs* stay in the right path is all we can do!

well i cant really say much more than i did on DA... it is a sad reality.. one that is far to over looked.. like i said on DA, cause it most often never gets noticed or reported..... i was watching on the news the other day they say there a shortage of shelters here, that they have to turn people down cause they can't accommodate them cause they already overfilled.. and saddest part is most of the people there are abuse victims.......
to be honest i remember spending a couple nights from time to time as a kid, me my mom and brother spent a couple nights in a shelter from time to time when i was a kid.... so we could be safe....

Oh my good friend...like I say to my friend Tyrone...my childhood wasn't was a garden of roses...my mom too..with all the problems in my house during my childhood,we think about to look for a shelter...but thanks to God,something works better for us...but I understand you 100%...my friend...100%
Gracias amigo mio por tu gran comentario...y te digo,mi vida de niño no fue facil,ni la de mis hermanas tampoco,no de mi mamá, ni de mi papá,pero de alguien muy cercano a nosotros...este dibujo es algo que yo quise hacer, hace tiempo,sé que a muchos no les gustó el tema,pero yo ansiaba hacerlo y bajarlo aqui...y tristemente...el abuso infantil continua!
Dímelo a mí. De eso hay a diario en las noticias... inckuídos los malditoa que celebran disparando al aire. Tan solo en año nuevo murieron tres niñitos por balas perdidas. Y en las navidades es la misma cosa.
Hace coo un año pasó igual... y la policía hizo e, se han ganado un apodo: Robocops)l trazado balístico tan exactamente que arrestaron al tirador como a la semana... ahora está paganfo como 20 años en la cárcel.
Y acá, en especial en Barranquilla, esas cosas no se toleran para nada, al punto de que varia veces, a a busadores o violadores de niños ha tenido la policía que enviar al ESMAD (el destacamento antimotines, y esos sí que son rudos! Con toda la coraza que tienen encima, se han ganado un tremendo apodo: los Robocops) a salvar a los pobres idiotas. Es más, te cuento un caso: los vecinos del tipo, apenas se enteraron del abuso a un menor, no bien se lo llevaromn preso, literalmebte destruyeron la casa en que vivía. Si has visto en las pelis de guerra los vecindarios bombardeados, tendrás una LIGERA idea de cómo quedó. Parecía casi un lote de esos donde tiran escombros!

Wow!!Impresivo amigo mio!Aqui en Puerto Rico por las balas perdidas,una jovencita de 15 amos esta gravemente herida...en la cabeza...ella se esta debatiendo entre la vida y la muerte...Dios tenga misewricordia de estos canallas!!Detesto el abuso infantil,como violaciones y otras clases de maltreato...no digo que hay que disciplinar a un hijo,pero caramba,hacerlo de la manera correcta.No tratando de matarlo!!!Gracias otra vez amigo mio,gracias!*abrazo*
Disciplinar, no despedazar.
No darles licor ni dejarlos jugar con pólvora. Acá el ICBF, el Instituto Colomiano de Bienestar Familiar, tiene por ley que a los padres que dejen emborrachar a sus hijos o cuyos hijos se lesionen por usar pólvora, les quitan la patria Potestad.

Yeah... what you're saying there is... the plain reality... I hope that it will change and we need that change. Let's hope that it will change because the children are our future and... it's like a young plant... it needs care and love and help to grow and to be strong to be able face life reality... If you dont care for that li'l plant well it will never bloom. Sadly... well it's more and more hard to give the best possibilitie for young children to grow sourrounded with love... maybe the economy and a lot of negetive thing impeach a normal progression for the yougd these days... let's hope it will change And by the way... nice drawing Freddy... *hug*
This is very powerful and touching for me, especially considering that I was a victim of child abuse in the late 1990s and early 2000s. (I was born in '93, and so I was very young at the time, but I still can remember the abuse that I got from my father extremely well.)
Thank you very much for sharing this image and story, Fred. I hope that you will continue to experiment with this theme in your artwork - the message of child abuse, especially the verbal and emotional kinds, need to be brought up more. More importantly, loving your child, and ultimately putting an end to child abuse all-together, needs to be brought up, too.
