OMG that is such a powerful picture!! Mandy – you are one amazing artist and this is a great way to pass the word on such a sad truth.
Off to light a candle…beautiful photo to illustrate the subject.
Wow those statistics are scarry. So sad but inportant to know the truth. ~Jackie
Oh, such a sad sweet little bear, and a powerful image. Wonderful work, Mandy!
I just lit three… one for each of my precious children. This is such a sad, sad truth.
Sickening! I just have zero tolerance for stuff like that you know? It angers me to no end. Beatufiully simple shot.
So very sad. Can you watch your kids too carefully? I pray it never touches my household. Such perverseness. Your photo is so touching, a beautiful work of art to remind us of the life-changing sorrows of others.
This has to be the saddest thing to me. Those stats just astound me… Especially the one about the 117 victim average, that’s crazy! Thanks for sharing this link Mandy…
Were you the one asking about the costume? I would love to make you one if it was you! I would have to first warn you that I do not sew. I put most of it together with this stuff you iron on instead of sewing. The quality is probably not as good as it would be had I used the sewing machine. I could also tell you how I made it… It really was SO easy! Love your photo yesterday too… Too cute! I LOVE the marx brothers!
I love your processing of this photo. The photo seems so right for these rather grim statistics.
So sad. Too bad it’s true. Off to light some candles…
I think this is horrible.
Those poor children’s life is jusr ruined.
I’m a teenager myself but, i’m rlly intrested in these kind of things.
I actually think ppl should be in jail forever who abuse children.
It’s just horrible to know that there are really ppl who do things like this.
It’s making me sad.
