'Parent Does = Child does; Parent is = Child becomes = Child is'

"The abuse of children is a blight on society...


As Christians, we must protect children from abuse... In addition we must maintain the highest standards when investigating claims of abuse. Such claims need to be investigated impartially, and handed to police for thorough investigation. Cover-ups of alleged abuse of children - or of adults - is totally unacceptable...

Abuse is listed under various categories - physical, sexual and emotional, as well as neglect.

Description: The theme of the video is
'Parent Does = Child does;
Parent is = Child becomes = Child is'

Starts with a parent walking fast in a hurry talking on a mobile phone and a child follwing doing the same.

The content gradually changes from the 'little' things we don't mind our children learning how to do from us in the busyness of today's society...
....such as reading the time on your watch while waiting at a bus or train terminal,

to the 'little' things that we don't want our children to learn from us...
such as pushing past a mother with a pram and not helping her pick up her bags when you bump her.

The content graudually changes in degree from the 'little' things that we don't want our children to learn from us...
to the 'big' things most parents don't want their children exposed to.

These 'big' things are the things that abusive parents don't want their children to learn from them as they grow up...

....are the 'big things' that can then become the 'big problems' children should never see or learn from their parents as role models but sadly can,

...are the 'big things' that, once learnt, have then become the 'big problems' humans should never need to learn to deal with but sadly can grow up to have to deal with if they become abusive towards others as teenagers or adults.

REMEMBER:
If you know a child is being abused either because they have told you or because you have witnessed them being hurt never ignore this but rather report it.

RISK:
Reduce the risk of harm in children by reporting suspected abuse

REDUCE:
By doing this you are reducing the risk of cycles of abuse that show themselves in adults who were abused as children

REMEMBER:
'Parent Does = Child does;
Parent is = Child becomes = Child is'
