Children cannot wait for politics, pride, or ideology to catch up. Their safety, their rights, and their well-being must come first—always.

If you see the harm and still refuse to help change it, then you are no longer separate from the problem—you are helping sustain it.

During Child Abuse Prevention Month, let’s remember: protecting children requires action, not excuses.
