Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamour of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” Don’t be a passive onlooker when you encounter a child in distress. Be an active, caring community member and report the situation to the local authorities. Your actions can make a world of difference.
