What a response to child abuse when a spouter says that was nothing compared to what they saw. Abuse is abuse no matter what degree, I feel bad for any child that does not have an advocate or someone they can trust to go to, because a lot of time they are threatened at home and they won’t say anything. Also they know most of the time they will go into foster care. The system sometimes lets these kids down. A lot of time it isn’t physical abuse, it is verbal and other.
