I am a Clinical Psychologist who has worked with physically and sexually abused children.

The horrific physical and psychological damage of child physical and sexual abuse and trafficking in children, using children as if they were inanimate objects, MUST STOP!

PLAYING WITH DOLLS, A CHILD CRIES

A rag doll thrown against the wall
falls into a heap, its clothes in disarray.

Somewhere a child sobs,
takes a short breath
and sighs too deep for words.

Hands pick up the doll and
spins it around, throwing it again.

Somewhere a puppy whimpers.

I look down from the ceiling and
watch the man play with his anger.

The man is my father (abuser).
The rag doll is me.
Why, Daddy (God), why?
