Children need 2025 global protection shift!

There is nothing more remarkable than hearing the innocence of a child’s sound of play, laughter, imaginative expression, crying, and the visual gesture of just wanting a hug. Their purity and innate passion to only give love must have been allocated by the divine arms of God! But yet their pain and suffering from abuse, exploitation, starvation, trafficking and poor parenting - echos an irrefutable and irritating social chime.

The buoyancy of negativity draws the attention globally from the masses. Daily agendas have taken precedence in abundance over the primary purposeful calling –Our Children! The suffering and pain endured by the little-ones have nestled in the lonely corridors of public and governmental policy, focused debates, media proliferation and parental accountability.

Must we accept a couple’s shameful jargon-of-excuses of abandoning their children due to mental paralysis of opioids? Must we forsake our moral compass of intuitiveness by turning a blind eye to children acting out and immediately labelling them as ADHD, without seeking out truths of home life or even abuse?

Do we continue the nonchalant momentum of disregard to that promiscuous 12-year-old girl/boy without the inquisition of the possibilities of sexual abuse or even trafficking? The shift and call-of-duty of social reformation is in order!

These talking-points and social dialogue in the media, on the highest platform, is the hope in the new year! It is our job to change children’s perception of life by loving them unconditionally and providing a consistency in safety. The inspiration here is appreciating children’s wonderful expressions of joy and laughter and listening to what they have to say. There should always be liberty in child-expression ~ as the phenomenal 2023 film utters “The Sound of Freedom”.
