Childhood is a precious time in which children should live free from fear, safe from violence and protected from abuse and exploitation.

Early trauma in childhood changes the developing brain because an environment characterized by abuse and neglect, can cause different adaptation of brain circuitry than an environment of safety, security and love. The earlier the distress in childhood, on average, the more profound the effects in adulthood.

This is a call for parents to provide guidance to our children preventing them from going astray.
