MORE THAN 500 REPORTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE" - SAYS 'CHILD FOCUS

Child abuse has significantly increased online


Child abuse has significantly increased online.



Sexual abuse against children is now on the increase, despite all efforts by the police and organizations fighting against this heinous crime.


It is sad to note that adults who are supposed to help and protect children are those responsible. According to 'Child Focus,' an organization protecting children in Belgium, last year alone, 513 sexual abuse cases were reported against underage children.

For the victims of sexual abuse to come forward and tell their stories, "Child Focus" has introduced a 'chart-channel' to persuade them. According to the report, most of the cases against the victims come from the surroundings of the victim.

"It is very good that children remain confident in their environment to come forward. At the same time, we want to offer a solution to victims who have hidden their secret to be confident and come forward, also to speak," explains Mr. Dirk Depover, the spokesman for "Child Focus."

The meaning of the 'chart-channel' is for the consultants to create a dialogue with the young people to see where and how the victim can get assistance in their environment, or in any way to follow judicial procedures. Mr. Depover explains further.

In many cases, adult sex offenders, after serving their jail terms, come out to repeat this same offense. These people have no shame. They are extremely dangerous to society, and when caught and found guilty, they must be caged for life.

FAITH: THE COMFORT OF LIFE, THAT MANY IGNORE


Miracles happen

Miracles happen


"Then he touched their eyes and said, 'Because of your faith, it will happen." Then their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, 'Don't tell anyone about this." But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region." Matthew Ch 9, 29-31.


Faith is reliance, trust, and belief in religious doctrine. It is not an object or substance that can be seen or touched, but evidence of things hoped for. The question is "Does faith or believing in something really work? Yes, it does.

The world is full of many writers. Every writer has his or her own interesting subject to write about. Some of them are fiction, and others are events based on true accounts. I love to write things that are related to my personal life rather than taking stories from somewhere.

I grew up in Africa, a continent everyone knows how tough it is like a place with 'Third World Countries,' and to the best of my memory, what kept me strong and alive in that harsh continent was nothing else than "Faith." It was my sword, shield, armor, protector, and redeemer.

I have hundreds of 'faith' related success stories to tell, but I would like to share this. I have no money, yet I want 110 euros to pay for the cost of books my son is using at a school he was attending in Antwerp, Belgium. I received a second letter reminding me of this payment, as the time to pay the amount was overdue.

I prayed and had faith in myself that I would get the money to pay the school, even though I didn't know where the money was coming from. The next day, I was on my bicycle to work. It was winter and very dark at 5 AM, but the lights of my bicycle were very good, therefore I could see the bicycle lane clearly.

Then on the cycle lane, I spotted something like a folded note. I quickly stopped and turned back to where the object lay. (I wasn't sure it was money, so I can't say where the money lies) But when I took it, I realized that it was money. When I unfolded it, it was exactly 115Euro. The next day, I paid the money to the school.

Here, my 'Faith' has rewarded me with 115 euros. Another point is, a miracle of all miracles has taken place. I needed 110Euro, but I received 115 Euros. An additional 5 Euros could provide me with a few things at the supermarket.

Why don't many people have faith, even though having one doesn't cost anything? Some believe in chariots, horses, guns, wealth, and friends. As for me and my family, we don't believe in any of them than 'Faith.' Try God's or Jesus' love when everything fails. That's where your gift of 'Faith' would be born.

HOW COOKING AT HOME BUILDS A HAPPY MARRIAGE AND FAMILY


Cooking at home builds a happy marriage


Cooking at home builds a happy marriage.


Marriage is a bond between a man and a woman, united to live together. The wishes married couples seek include happiness, prosperity, and good health. But many times these wishes rather become a nightmare, bringing many marriages to an abrupt end.


One important factor, which many women don't even think about it but could easily bring a marriage to an end, is when the woman doesn't know how to cook. In African society, a mother teaches her daughter how to cook before stepping into marriage. 


That is the reason it is rare to find a woman who doesn't know how to cook in Africa. Also, divorce is less common in Africa.


The experienced African woman knows perfectly well that it is a total disgrace not only to her daughter but also to her when her daughter doesn't know how to cook. 


In this case, before her daughter steps into marriage, she teaches her many things, including cooking, to build a happy, successful marriage and family.


Unfortunately, in the advanced countries, it is not an important issue to a  White woman who doesn't know how to cook because there a restaurants, pizza, and Chinese food to order, and tin foods at the supermarket. 


As a married woman, how would your marriage be when, after the day's hard work, your husband arrives home to see a can of spaghetti bought from the supermarket on the dining table as his dinner?


The man might not complain, even though he is not happy. How long can he harbor this in him? Eventually, he quickly seeks his happiness somewhere else. 


Cooking is a profession, yet many can learn as a hobby or as a married woman. There are so many cookbooks that can help a beginner.


Don't think that putting on the sexiest dress or keeping sexy for your husband all the time would save your marriage. Learn how to cook and be a good wife to your husband. He will love you forever and ever boast of how good his wife can cook to his friends. 


Order your pizza and Chinese food once a month or not at all. They are unhealthy.
