Proactive Approaches

Below are a few of the countless reasons for reviewing and revising our failing policies for protecting our young.  The reactive approach is pointless.  The damage is already done and irreparable.  Where are the proactive policies to really show our earnest efforts to learn from mistakes and eliminate child maltreatment altogether?

Why Do We Still Have Child Abuse

We can put men on the moon, build bombs that are smart enough to hunt and decimate their unfortunate targets, expand our prisons and military at breakneck pace, yet the very depravity of child abuse continues.  Why? 

Shouldn't we strive to ensure the well being of those most vulnerable to harm? 

We react to the really horrific abusers while disregarding the abused.  Why?

I can't help but wonder if our entire approach is terribly wrong.  In cases like

Should we punish, imprison and heap harm on the abuser regardless of the abused already battered child?

These questions and more perplex me.  I am tired of our reactive justice and pro-penal policy that hijacks all the attention and energy from the ones who were actually harmed.  What can we do to help the abused?  When do we stop with this self-righteous, arrogant we-know-what's-best-for-the-victim stance (punish the criminal) and actually consider the survivor?  Why does no one consult the real expert on abuse, when it comes to policy, procedures and best practices?  You disregard and ignore the voices of the victims.  You instead, hang on every letter of every inane word from courts, talk shows, media spin, law enforcement, judges, and other cloistered book learned 'experts',
