More Child Abuse

This is so sad, but I do agree that winter is more stressful. The kids seem to go stir crazy because they can't run around outside. Obviously that is not a reason to hurt your kids though!

FROM MEDIA SOURCE: We’re in the dead of winter, holiday bills are rolling in and many families are struggling to make ends meet - could that be leading to a rise in child abuse and neglect?

Abuse and neglect cases have doubled at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (Columbus, Oh) over the past 18 months and experts there suspect that the trend holds true across the country.

The good news: there are programs that can help. Check out http://msmediacenter.tv/story.php?id=22 to see how one nurse at Nationwide Children’s is trying to diffuse those dangerous situations through home visits, one family at a time. She also shares tips on how to handle stress constructively.
