Protest Poster

The poster that I made is about a subject that I am very concerned about, and think is one of the most important subjects to address. The subject is crimes against children. It is a subject that frustrates me, and sickens me, knowing that there is a huge lack of representation for children in this world. Adults pay for lawyers and higher people in order to be heard. But children don’t have this ability and so many issues go unresolved and blatantly are not given the attention necessary to protect children from harm. The statistics are very high when it comes to abuses committed against children. My inspiration was a lady that was on NPR that talked about a girl who was tortured to death by her mother’s boyfriend. This terrible and appalling act made me extremely angry, as the lady went on talking about how the boyfriend was not punished fairly in the trial. She talked about how she made a strong effort in making sure that the boyfriend did not get of the hook for his crimes, and she has started an organization that helps represent children. This topic is very important to me, and as a father it breaks my heart knowing that there are millions of crimes committed against children on a weekly basis. The poster I created has written on it a terrible statistic that says that one in every four children will be victims of a crime.  I wanted to isolate the children in the poster that I made, and I wanted to show how amazing children are, and how happy and pure. I wanted to drive home the importance of taking care of the children in the world so that they can have a future without unnecessary evil committed against them. One of the things that I think I can help out with on an individual level, is research the different organizations that represent children, and find a way to volunteer or make a donation, that can possibly help a child in being removed from a dangerous enviroment.
