This Should Never Happen

I know a few children that have been through all kinds of abuse, physical, mental, sexual, and verbal. Being a victim of one is bad enough, but when you are a victim all it can cause some major psychological damage. I just want to take these kids and take them away from it all. There is no reason for a child to go through that. Then to top it off, come to find out, sexual abuse is a misdemeanor and they only serve two years. I myself have been a victim of abuse, and I know that it does effect you. Each person has to deal with it their own way. It took me a while to overcome it, and I try to comfort the children when they are trying to cope with there problems. All I am saying is when you are abused in any way it takes time to heal, sometimes years. I know to this day it can still haunt me, and it has been over 10 years, and the offender only has to serve at the most 2 years. What is 2 years compared to the rest of the victims life.
