Electoral college than now tomorrow
Tolerating child abuse denies the worth of children as human beings and makes a mockery of the American People. As a moral Citizen we have the right to turn in a child abuser. In the United States, teachers are told to report child abuse to the Department of Family Services because the department has the responsibility and legal mandate to insure a child's safety, care, and welfare (Bender et al. 1). Why must this responsibility be separate among people who live in the same city and care for these children? The Department of Family Services (DFS) should not have to be concerned with the moral responsibility of protecting a child or doing everything correctly as to not violate a law. They should only have to be watching out for these children and find ways to stop child abuse. This needs to change by building a real community where everyone can feel active, involved, and as though they are making a difference. The presence of child abuse goes back as far as history can remember. It was present in such societies as Ancient Egypt and Rome.
