Throughout weekend of the conference, we will be providing materials and ask Mothers to add paper cut-out handprints to the clothesline. However, Mothers do NOT need to be in attendance at the conference in order to add their handprints. Please mail the handprints before Jan. 2, 2010 to: Linda Marie Sacks P.O.

    Our Opinion: Child-abuse deaths

    We merely chip away at the problems


    ...About 200 children were fatally abused in Florida in 2008,
    which is a 20 percent increase over the year 2007.


    ...The Child Abuse Death Review Committee that reports on and confronts
    this societal horror is encouraged by DCF's effort to follow up
    screenings with more face-to-face assessments with families, offering
    help before a full-scale investigation might be required.


    The reports say quite bluntly that unemployed men between 18 and 30
    who watch children while the mother is at work are the most common
    abusers.
    Their rage is triggered by crying, toilet training and feeding
    and in many of the cases the males aren't the biological fathers, and
    that contributes to their inability to cope.


    DCF Secretary George Sheldon told the Associated Press last week
    that he is increasingly persuaded that substance abuse and mental
    health issues are at the root of much domestic abuse and caseworkers
    are being educated to better recognize and deal with the symptoms
    before they escalate.


    Reviews by the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform affirm
    the high risk of working mothers leaving children "with unsuitable
    young men — in other words, unemployed boyfriends."
    But it says that
    the only "solution" is to educate parents concerning the importance of
    making informed choices in their selection of so-called babysitters.


    The conundrum only gets worse because many of these moms don't have
    much choice; they must go to work or lose their jobs and then be
    evicted; they will have their children taken away or endangered if they
    are left alone or with that boyfriend who isn't trustworthy....
