PARENTS - HAVE YOUR CHILDREN VACCINATED

The science of vaccinations has been proven. Vaccinating saves lives. Full stop! Countries around the world where vaccinating children has slowed down or in some places, stopped are now experiencing the resurgence of diseases that were once considered eliminated.

There are hundreds of website providing misinformation on vaccinating children, 100% of them written by ignorant, superstitious and / or quacky religious nuts who see the hand of the devil in anything that is not written and supported  by whatever holy book they are choosing to follow. They are doing everything they can to get their misinformation and propaganda out so that you don't vaccinate and protect your kids.

The following is a link to a very educational website for parents who care about their children and the community at large. The article is "50 Anti-Vaccine Myths and Misinformation".

HEADLINE: Saudi Led Air Strikes Kill Dozens of Yemeni Children

This news heading was in our main newspaper for one day. No following story. No breakdown of the horrendous heartache suffered by the parents and the shear horror of the Suadi action. Substituent the word "Yemeni: for American or Canadian or British. What would the reaction be? Imagine the outrage, the condemnation, the retaliation. 

The problem is that Yemeni children "are over there". Who cares. Just one of those "middle east" countries where they have always been killing each other anyway. It's similar to the 100 girls kidnapped by the Boko Harum. News for a day. Ho hum. 

Is the lack of moral outrage due to these children not being white? I'm just asking the question. It seems more and more that white children matter; non-white skinned children don't. Maybe this is harsh, but there is a great deal of truth to it.

At some point, some courageous politician is going to come forward and push for a real international war crimes against children tribunal. Brutalizing children and killing children in front of children results in these children growing up to become brutalizing adults. When will the madness stop.

THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN OVERRIDES POLITICAL BULLSHIT

Frightened children are being held in tents and massive warehouses, in tight quarters - in extreme heat by day, and extreme cold at night. All after having to flee danger in their home countries. They must be put back in their mother`s arms.

Despite weeks of heartbreaking stories in the national news, parents and children are still being detained and treated like criminals by the U.S. Government.

The cruelty we’ve witnessed in the US must not stop people from speaking up for fair, just and legal treatment of refugees. The crass Executive Order announced yesterday by the U.S. administration allows for the indefinite imprisonment of families, and continues to be a violation of international law for people for seeking asylum.

Your emergency gift in response to this unfolding crisis in the USA, using our secure website or by phoning 1-800—AMNESTY (1-800-266-3789), will help Amnesty International to:
• Maintain public pressure to ensure migrant families are no longer separated
• Ensure reunification of up to 3,000 children separated by cruel U.S. policies
• Pressure for the permanent closure of family detention centres in the U.S., also known as "baby jails"
• Keep our researchers on the ground at the U.S. border and ensure the humane treatment of refugees
• Campaign to counter the false, negative stories being used by the U.S. administration to justify the policy of family separation and detention.
Families seeking safety deserve our compassion.

Children — and even toddlers and infants — have been taken from their parents at the border and put into government-run shelters, often hundreds of miles away from their parents.

These children have already suffered severe mental anguish from fleeing violence in their countries. They have seen things no child should have to see. How much more cruel that they’ve now been separated from their parents in a country whose language they may not speak. This trauma has the potential to affect their development and cause untold damage.

Please make an emergency donation today to help Amnesty International take immediate action.

Amnesty International staff recently conducted a research mission along the U.S. southern border, and a preliminary report found that since 2017, the Department of Homeland Security is increasingly separating children by force from their parents or guardians when these families request asylum.

In the past 2 weeks more than 100,000 Canadians have said “I’ve had enough” and sent a message to the U.S. administration, expressing their dismay at the practice of separating children from their parents at the U.S./Mexico border.

But children are still being put in prison.  Under no law or standard of civility or humanity is that ever acceptable, and we can only reverse it by speaking up loudly and collectively.
I know you care deeply about human rights and want Amnesty International to speak up forcefully right now.

Please help us do so by making a donation to help us do what needs to be done.

Evil Perpetrated on Children and their Families

There is no greater evil than that perpetrated on the weak, the innocent and defenseless;  children, animals, the mentally ill and women in godforsaken places where they are treated no better than chattels and beasts of burden.

Those with power who impose on children, forced separation from their mothers and fathers, siblings and families must at some point be accounted for. I liken it to war crimes. The other members of the ape family treat their children better than many human apes. And to make matters worse, they justify their actions by claiming it to be ordained by some holy book comprised of superstitious nonsense, human dogma, human designed commandments and created to place in bondage and enslave massive members of the human race.

The hypocrisy and sheer ignorance of these people knows no bounds. All humans at some point in time have been refugees. We all come from somewhere. Every person living outside the Great Rift Valley is a refugee or an immigrant. 

To quote the now infamous line of the uber ignorant Peter Navarro in his wholly unjustified and downright stupid criticism of Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, "there should be a special place in hell for these people".  Unfortunately and contrary to the "holy" books, there is no hell. Even Pope Francis of the rapidly becoming irrelevant Catholic Church reportedly told an Italian journalist hell does not exist. 

Of course in today's world of borders, nationalism, terrorism, need for national security and protectionism, there has to be rules and regulation and a degree of security for established citizens of the various countries around the world. However, this regulation should not be to the detriment of the weak, innocent and defenseless. Shame on all the extreme right or left wing, power hungry, dollar chasing, divisive, narcissistic, misogynistic elite who pander to the whims of the ignorant, the superstitious, the fearful, the bigots and the racists of any religion, belief or creed who refuse to believe we are all descendant from the same common ancestor and we all have a duty as humans to protect the weak and defenseless, particularly children.

Let the children go!!!

We Were All Children Once

How we were treated as children influenced what we grew up to be as adults. Children treated with understanding and empathy became  adults with empathy and understanding. Children who were taught love and patience grew into adults with love and understanding. I think I am making my point.

Children bought up in brutal conditions grow into brutal adults as a general rule of thumb. What can be done to prevent children being forced to become child soldiers, children being traded and sold in human trafficking that exists in so many places around the world?  All this in an age when we are building a new space program, medical science is making amazing advances, more women around the globe are attaining more rights and education is becoming a staple in countries that not too long ago had few if any classrooms. 

How can you help children or a child in dire need. Use the Internet and Google a charitable organisation near you. You can help either locally or globally through an organisation such as the ones you see on this link.

Do your due diligence though. There are many scams out there and there are many charities that have very heavy admin charges with simply not enough funds from contributors getting through to the children that need them. By estimates, there are 45.8 million people are enslaved across the world. Global Slavery Index 2016 key findings: Total number of people enslaved globally: 45.8 million people. Enhanced methodology reveals that 10 million more people are enslaved than previously estimated – a 28% increase. Many many, of them are children.

How comfortable are you in your current life? Comfortable?  Maybe its time to forgo that planned cruise or the 2 months "in the desert" and channel that money to children who have been bought into this world and know nothing but suffering.

Just suggesting.

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL

Not looking forward to the 2018 statistics in regard to the planet's resources being used to sustain greedy industrialists, megalomaniac dictators and country leaders and ignorant and head-in-the-sand ignoramuses. 

This news is from 2017.

The day by which the human race has used up more natural resources than can be replenished in a year—known as Earth Overshoot Day —has been getting earlier for some time. But in 2017, it’s come earlier than ever before.

As of August 2, human beings have used up its allowance of resources such as water, clean air, and soil for 2017, according to environmental groups the Global Footprint Network and the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). And there’s still five months to go in the year. Great job guys.

Current thoughts are we will be using 125% of the earth's resources in 2018. Even a child knows this is NOT sustainable.

THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY

Oxfam says the wealth of worlds richest 1% is now equal to the other 99%. 

The richest 1% now have as much wealth as the rest of the world combined, according to Oxfam. It uses data from Credit Suisse from October 2016  for the report, which urges world leaders  and world business leaders to take action on inequality.

These 8 Men Control Half the Wealth on Earth

Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger. Poor nutrition is responsible for nearly half of all deaths in children under the age of 5—about 3 million children die each year because their bodies don't have enough of the basic nutrients they need to function and grow.

A Great Charitable Organisation in India

Time is of the essence. Every single day in high risk communities girls are trafficked, women are beaten, and infants are thrown away because they are female.

Have you ever wanted to have a big impact to free and equip girls and women, but felt your investment would be too small to address these injustices? Collective giving has proven to result in achieving support goals for critical work in a very short amount of time.

Because of your heart to free and equip women and girls, you are invited to be part of a pilot program of She Is Safe called, Safe Ventures, a collective investment opportunity launching this year.

Members of Safe Ventures give collectively for greater impact and vote to direct their investments to a She Is Safe outreach that urgently needs funding to set more victims free while extending the gospel.

• U.S. Failed To Protect Child Migrants From Abuse And Trafficking
• Irving Man Charged In Child Abuse Case That Left 1-Year-Old Dead
• Europe now hosts majority of child sex abuse images (60 per cent), pushing North America into second place (37 per cent),

The above is just a very,very tiny little taste of abuse and criminal neglect against children the most vulnerable of our society. found after just a brief browse on the internet, Though I am not a pro-capital punishment advocate, in the case of premeditated crimes against children, particularly against babies and very young children I lean in that direction.

SERIOUSLY EVIL ADULTS USE TASER GUNS ON CHILDREN.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Just when you think you have read the worst story on the abuse of children, this story arises. 

Police: 4 charged after stun gun used to discipline kids

These people should get a taste of their own medicine. After serving years in prison they should then be shipped to a desert island to rot. 

WHY WE NEED TO PROTECT CHILDREN

The period of childhood is a phase in which the human being is more vulnerable because they have not finished developing physically or mentally. Furthermore, the child requires a particular attention and protection.

CELEBRATING THE POWER OF EDUCATION

Three years ago, Malala Yousafzai was targeted for her outspoken support of girls’ education. But not even a gun could silence her. In fact, it made her voice ring louder. Since her brush with death, Malala has made it her life’s purpose to advocate for the equal rights of all children and was recently the subject of the documentary He Named Me Malala, by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim.

Free The Children is proud to have welcomed Malala in Kenya on a ME to WE Trip where she spent several days speaking to girls about their passion for education at Kisaruni All Girls Secondary School. For many young girls, accessing education is about having the opportunity to reach their full potential as leaders and making a meaningful difference in the world.

Marcella Sang, a Kisaruni graduate and aspiring journalist, shares Malala’s belief in the power of education: “This school has changed my life completely. I have gained leadership skills and I have excelled in academics. When I started Kisaruni, I was shy and not able to address people in public. That’s changed—I have a voice now.”

Join us in celebrating the power of education and help support Free The Children’s education program overseas.
