Concrete Angel (An Alliance Video on CHILD ABUSE)
I didn't include the images that show the injuries these children suffer, just couldn't go there with this video. This song is sad enough without me showing you the physical marks leaves behind, besides the pain they hide inside is far more painful then what they show on the outside. This is my second video dedicated to An Alliance. http://www.asanctuary.net/An_Alliance.htmlFor more information on An Alliance:http://www.youtube.com/user/ACloudWalkerAn Alliance channels: (caring hearts)http://www.youtube.com/user/ACloudWalkerhttp://www.youtube.com/user/CANYONMOONhttp://www.youtube.com/user/earthmother07http://www.youtube.com/user/CREATIVERAIN(If anyone desires to be taken off or added to this list please notify me)Child Abuse Statistics in the USA for 2006An estimated 906,000 children are victims of abuse & neglect every year.
