It sounds like you've embarked on a crucial journey driven by a desire to shed light on a deeply important issue. It's disheartening to discover that many people lack awareness about the realities of child abuse reporting, but it's equally troubling to realize that some professionals within the system may either condone the status quo or feel powerless to address the challenges. Advocacy serves as a powerful tool for effecting change, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable members of society. By raising awareness, challenging misconceptions, and advocating for reform, you're playing a vital role in creating a safer and more supportive environment for children who have experienced abuse. Your dedication and commitment to this cause are commendable. While the journey may be challenging, know that your efforts are making a difference and are integral to fostering positive change within the system. Keep advocating, keep educating, and keep pushing for a world where every child feels safe, supported, and heard. #MTICBIAI #MyTraumaIsChronicButIAmIconic #ChildAbuseAwareness #AdvocacyForChildren #BreakTheSilence #ProtectOurChildren #EndChildAbuse #SpeakUpForKids #SupportSurvivors #PreventAbuse #EducateToProtect #SafeChildhood #StandAgainstAbuse #AwarenessMatters #EmpowerChildren #JusticeForKids #TogetherWeCan
