BE IT ENACTED BY STUDENT CONGRESS ASSEMBLED THAT:

We help reduce the chances of child abuse by making it a greater crime if you abuse your children.

 If youare caught hitting, kicking, slapping, burning, starving, neglecting, or emotionally and mentally

 harming your children, it will be considered a federal crime and will be taken to high court.

 You will have to be approved before you are allowed a child. There will be a backround check, and a
home examination before your child is born.

There will be a required class for all woman preparing to have children.

They will need to pass this class, and be approved before the birth of their child.

There will be more child abuse centers accessable to the public.

 Five children die a day from child abuse.

In 1999, an estimated 3,244,00 were reported to CPS.

Since then the number has gone up more than 50,000.

A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds.

In 2005, 899,000 children were victims of child abuse, maltreatment, and neglect.

If any person fails to report the sighting of child abuse, that person shall recieve a fine of up to $2,000.

This includes the striking of a child in public, unattendance of a child, or unrational anger towards

their child.

Childhood victims of abuse are 59% more likely to be arrested as a juvenile.

Therefore; without child abuse there would be a great deal less crime.

One-third of all parents who were abused as a child typically abuse their children.

About 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met the criteria for at least one psychological

disorder.

Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy, which ultimately leads to even

more child abuse.

These order will be forced to be obeyed by the state of West Virginia.
