What You Can Do
Unrealistic expectations of parenthood, differences between what we want and what we actually have, a strained relationship with our marriage partner, too much to do and too little time, financial problems, drug abuse, alcoholism, and a history of being abused as a child are examples of problems that can cause parents to take out anger and frustration on their children. Even very loving parents can lose control to the point of child abuse.

Southfield— Motorists accused of driving drunk with children in the car, like the Southfield woman whose daughter passed a note last month to a bank teller seeking help, have drawn attention to what authorities say is an under-reported problem that puts hundreds of kids at risk every year in Michigan. Child endangerment charges can be levied when an impaired person drives with a child under age 16. But because the young victims are often either unaware or incapable of knowing what’s happening, or reluctant or too fearful to report it, most cases never lead to arrests. Even the state Department of Human Services can’t say how often reported offenses occur across Michigan.

The BACA Victims Benefit tonight at Third and Walnut is the first in a series of fast approaching events geared towards helping those who need it most. The Montgomery County chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse will hold their annual Victims Benefit tonight at Third and Walnut Bar and Grill, with all proceeds going to victims services in Norristown.

The benefit, which runs from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., will feature DJing by “Big Daddy” of the Mavericks Motorcycle Club, food, drinks, raffles, and much more, all for a $20 donation. The benefit is one of many events coordinated by the Montco BACA members.

Social worker uncovered the horrors faced by children shipped to far-flung corners of the Empire

Sitting in a screening room last week, I watched my life portrayed by someone else. A stranger played my husband and there were different children in my house. My daughter Rachel, son Ben and husband Mervyn had swapped jokes for months about what this moment might be like. Now we were nervous. On screen, actress Emily Watson appeared as a social worker coaxing a distraught teenage mother into surrendering her baby. I held my breath. A vignette from my life had transported me back 25 years.
