As a Christian I believe in the value of people of whatever age or culture. The old lady living alone in a small flat or a mother trying to bring up a child by herself may find themselves victims of abuse. We all have dignity and rights.

I recall one Friday late afternoon in North Lambeth when I was an Education Welfare Officer. A mother came in to the office stating she had problems paying her electricity bill. I phoned Social Services and was not given much help at that time. The mother then burst into tears saying that her boyfriend had been round and had been aggressive. She in turn had taken it out on her son who she loved. I phoned Social Services again  and that night a Place of Safety Order was granted.

What things drive us over the edge, and how can we stop? How can we recognize the symptoms? Sometimes it is a result of emotional pressure building up inside us and perhaps blood pressure. It maybe we are going through a difficult time in a relationship. Perhaps we are aware we are getting older. Suddenly we feel the need to let the emotion out, but how can we control it? Where can we look for help?

You may be able to take your feet out of the quicksand when the tide is out, but if you stay there too long you get stuck. If you feel that you are getting sucked in to something you will regret then get out now and walk on solid ground. There are many agencies that can help you so seek advice before it is too late.

We hear of old people being attacked and children being abused. How can we make a change to our world? We need to give people a sense of value. For me I believe that God accepts people as they are, so we should accept other people as they are. It does not mean that we have to like everybody but we have to love them. It could be that our acceptance and love could change their lives.

Do  child abusers and violent criminals have no sense of self worth?

Do they find it almost impossible to form stable relationships?

Do they prefer to dominate and control rather than relate and grow?

 Does the husband who hits his wife and children demonstrate  that he cannot or will not find a better way to relate to them?

Does the person who abuses children reflects a belief that he or she cannot relate to people of their own age?.

Is there a  more disturbing trend is to seek out the violent abuse of children?

What leads to this perverted desire?

Does it again reflect a misplaced view of sex and relationships?

How can we begin to remedy the situation?
