Suffer

As the economy weakens, there are more and more cases of child abuse being reported. According to an April 16^th Reuters story, these new cases “are part of a spike in child abuse in United States during a recession that has driven some families to the brink and overwhelmed cash-strapped child-protection agencies. In the last three months we have twice as many severe inflicted injury cases as we did in the three months the previous year," said Allison Scobie, program director of the Child Protection Team at Boston's Children's Hospital.

Two thoughts:

There is more to life than money.

Isn’t it tragic that the innocent are often the ones to suffer for things over which they have no control?
