High School students learn about child abuse

I ran across this article today, about a high school in Minnesota and how they have, for several years now, assigned students a senior research project on child abuse.

I think this is great, and I think that the more people we can get talking, thinking, acknowledging and listening to survivors, the more tools we have to combat the problem with. It’s about time people got comfortable with the idea that child abuse happens, it happens everywhere, across all social strata, among every group. And it’s time that all survivors could feel free to have a voice.

    It seems like there’s a whole lot of people blogging now days. Some do it for obvious reasons, wanting a journalistic outlet for their writing, wanting to share technical information, wanting to try and persuade others on political issues, wanting to share sites they find useful, or they just want to share their life in…
