Google holidays and earmarked days in April. What do you get? Doctor Day? Earth Day? STD Awareness? Our calendar is littered with days of remembrance, but how about child abuse?

There are supposed to be child abuse awareness marches today. Heard about them?

How about crime victims? This week is dedicated to crime victims. Heard about that?

We get really quiet when it comes to child advocacy and victims’ rights.

Why?

Why are we so afraid to speak for the children? Why are we equally skittish about protecting crime victims?

Who speaks for the voiceless? Do you?
