Welcome to Random Acts Of Kindness Child Abuse Awareness Page

This page came to be, due to a prayer request for a 3 year old little girl who had been brutally raped. This tragedy should never have happened...unfortunately, it happens to many children everyday. According to U.S. statistics, one out of every four girls and one out of every ten boys have been sexually abused by the age of eighteen. This must stop!

This bear has been adopted in the thoughts of a very special little girl named Elizabeth


There are four main forms of child abuse...sexual (already mentioned), physical, emotional and by neglect. All are equally devastating... to the child, and to society. Child abuse is not going to magically disappear because of this page...but if we can make people more aware, maybe we can make a difference.
Sexual Abuse Sexual exploitation of a child, including rape, incest, fondling, exhibitionism, or pornography
Physical Abuse Non-accidental injury to a child that may include severe beatings, burns, strangulation or human bites
Emotional Abuse A pattern of behavior that attacks a child's emotional development and sense of self worth. i.e. name-calling, put-downs, terrorization, isolation, humiliation, rejection, corruption, ignoring
Physical Neglect Failure to provide a child with basic necessities
