Today, the world we live within is full of changes and possibilities. In the past many people were not given equal opportunities or rights, but today has certainly set the standard for many individuals to have possibilities of success and greatness that is not judged by gender, race, or even social class. However, there are also those individuals out there who have plenty of opportunities to be productive and do the right thing, but simply chose not to. One thing that an individual should not chose, but have to do is treat a child properly and safely.

Recently, many cases in Texas have begun to surface of that of child abuse. Of course everyone has heard stories or tells of the infamous “shaking baby syndrome” or children maybe having bruising in places that they did not have the day before. More and more children today are going to the hospital with fractured ribs, and other bones that can easily be the product of child abuse. However, one has to question the actual bone density of a child and that accidents can occur. Yet, accidents do not happen continuously with the same sort of instance occurring with the same individual, a child.

An article was written urging that children should have their bone density tested when a bone is fractured. Many would assume that a child would show signs of child abuse having occurred, but many true cases that deal with child abuse do not. Also, children and infants do not have a voice and cannot be heard. It is important to take all factors to mind when considering a child abuse case.

When an individual commits such a crude act such as child abuse they can easily face jail time, as well as the fact that they can instantly lose custody and guardianship of their child. Child abuse unfortunately is a very real aspect of our world today, and one can only hope that it will soon diminish.
