A recent study says that about 60% of American kids have been the victims of some kind of abuse or violence. As a country we should be ashamed. This number includes neglect and all types of violence against kids under the age of 17 by parents, strangers, and other youths.
I think we need to concentrate on lowering this number before we try to make peace around the world. Obama just won the Nobel Prize for peace? Maybe he should start in his own backyard first. As a representative of our country, he should be too ashamed to accept such a prize.
