ABUSE - CHILD: Child abuse is a blight on us all

OVER many months we have witnessed the surfacing of truly saddening and horrifying stories of child abuse, neglect and death. As The Age editorial (26/6) pointed out, these are only the tip
of the iceberg. We have been forced to acknowledge that this is a problem with no boundaries. It is happening in all sorts of suburbs — comfortable and poor, remote and urban, non-indigenous and indigenous. It is happening in single-parent families and in families with two parents. It could be happening in our community, on our street, right next door. Rob Moodie writes.
