A child has a right to grow up in a home where he is loved, GOD is honored, and the Bible taught.  He has a right to be assured that JESUS loves him, that his sins can be forgiven, that he can go to heaven when he dies.

    The spiritual dimension is necessary to balance emotional, mental, and physical needs. While physical abuse affects a child for his earthly lifetime, spiritual abuse carries eternal consequences.

"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in ME, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Mark 9:42
