"Stop it Dan!" she cried.

Rushing to the side of her child,

pulling a drunk husband off of his step-child.

"Goddam kid spilled his milk!" He shouted at her.

and plunges his hand back down.

"STOP!" desperatly grabbing at his shirt she sobbed.

and as she manages to get him off,

it's already too late.

The child lays unconsious on the linolium floor,

and there are tear streaks on his face.

and his shirt,

his shirt is soaked with milk.

"It shouldn't hurt to be a child."

stop child abuse. If you see child abuse tell somone. Not saying anything is as bad as doing it.
