my promise to my children: you will never have to go through what i went through as a child. i will not let any man or myself ever put thier hands on you in any way that would hurt you. i love you forever and always. -mommy
this video makes me BAWL every time I hear it. I can't belive the horrible things people do to their children. I HOPE THEY ROT IN HELL. it's not right! and whoever disliked this song is seriously disturbed! This is a POWERFULL song!

Why can abuse get so bad that the parent could KILL their own CHILD,i am blessed that i was never abused so i cannot imagine it... i support the abused babies, children, and teens out their... i do not know what you have to put up with everyday but all i can do is hope and pray it will get better.
this is so sad i cried watching this i am very sinsative and i fell bad for these people i would hurt my self if it did happen to me and i love you girl
@gem1689 wow I'm so sorry, I know a girl who is abused and also I'm abused... Ever since um I was 11 my moms bf abused me and I told her but she didn't believe me than they got in a bug fight and broke up, then she got married and in January my step dad got drunk and came home and started beating me her bf still knows where we live and still beats me... I tell my mom but she doesn't believe me I told my older sis but she's married and can't help that much I told my bro and he told my mom BUT sh
@ashley4eva1iluvmydad that is so sad u should tell a teacher or even the police.no one should be treated harmfully like that everyone should be treated with respect.
Very sad song very good video very heart breaking i couldnt imagine telling my kid when i have one their best friend died my friend lost hiss mom and that was hard on me and him
Allow ME to punish the ones who prey on children or neglect their needs! My mind is sick, and twisted as I have Bipolar disorder. Allow me to carry out actions upon the pedophiles, child abusers, and ANYBODY who would hurt, neglect, or use a child in any way that would even remotely be considered mental or physical abuse!!!! Why should we house them in prisons, UNDER PROTECTIVE CUSTODY from the other prisoners due to even those other prisoners having SOME standards that you don't hurt children?
i was one of the kids who were beaten. i remember school was my only safe place because even though the kids made fun of me they didn't beat me. one year i was in 6th grade i had to stay home from school for 2 weeks because my dad beat me so bad it made me scream to sit down. he decided i was so bad he would use a metal tent pole but he was drunk and missed my but a couple times so i had bruises up and down my legs too. all that was because i forgot to pick my towel up after a shower...
I am a child abuse counselor, I have done many kids, teens, and adults I will tell you that this song has such an impact because it speaks the truth and for abuse victims, the truth is hard to take. If you or someone you know is abused take action and let someone know, in the end they will be safe and you could have just saved a life!
To Steve W. : like i said b4...i dont care for country, but once in awhile i'll find one i like. like this one. its a very sad song/video... but i LOVE it!!! hope u do to <3
This song breaks my heart. I have been though this and it's hard to tell people about abuse because you feel ashamed and feel like its all you'r fault but it is not. So please if you are getting abused tell some one you can trust. The sooner it is delt with the sooner you will be safe and you will be protected.
I am 42 years old, and I live with my parents because I am developmentally disabled and require living assistance. I've been trying to get on a waiting list for Assisted Living so that I can move in with my friend Lise and stay with her while I'm on the waiting list. All I want is to be free and happy. Right now, however, I feel helpless because, since I don't know how to learn to drive, I don't have the transportation to get out on my own. Waiting is the pits when you can't get out on your own.
My dad is an emotionally abusive control freak with a quick temper, so I never feel valued by him as a human being at all. He used to abuse me sexually, too, and although he hasn't yet abused me physically, I am still afraid of him to the point where I have to walk on eggshells and hide things from him to avoid his wrath. Sometimes he punishes me unjustly for the way I spend my money, or if I'm trying to enjoy myself or take care of a need. I look forward to the day when I can be free.
you know if i could i would cast anyone who abuses kids or anyone off the earth i would...it makes me cry cause no one diserves it...if you r being abused tell someone pleaase!!!!!! i will be praying for you!!! God will help yopu!!!!
Thanks for this great video.. I myself am an victim of child abuse.. I am an adult now... but the memories and scars run deep.. its awful and needs to stop..
my best friend just died of this same thing happening 2 her and now i have 2 go 2 her funeral next saturday at 2 o clock and she was my only just true friend so now wen i need a shoulder to cry on i cant because she isnt here anymore and i have 2 live wiv it everyday that only i knew that this was happening 2 her so now i truely really do wish that i had told somone so plz if somone tells u that they are being abused plz i hope that u tell somone and dont be so selfish like i was and tell sum1
PLEASE tell someone, he could end up getting very, very hurt, or he maybe even pass away (don't mean to scare you), it's the right thing to tell an adult who can report it, and your friend can be put in a home where he's loved :)
this used to be me...i can relate to all of this....but i told my skool nurse while nothing happened cps wise my dad freaked and my mom finally told him to back off cuz my mom does love me and she doesnt wanna lose me so my dad was forced to stop me and my dad hate each other now and i wish it was diffrent but i no its not and i just thank god every day that he stopped hitting me i havent had one bruise on me in almost 7 months...god bless everyone out there that nos wat i went thru
the same thing happened to a girl i liked she told me a secret about what her dad did to her ... she told me not to tell any one... i didnt and i found out that it had happened often....
Every time i hear this song it makes me cry. The same thing happened to my friend... he told me to never say anything to anyone. And i didnt. But one day he didnt show up to school, an when i heard what happened to him i wish i would have told someone.
my best friend's mom treats her like shit she beats on her every day she's 27 and the only reason why she's still living with her is she has kids and has nowhere else to go cause she has no money and she's afraid to go to a shelter cause she's hiding from an abusive ex. i pray for her and other people who r abused (adults and children) every day and i hope they will all one day find the justice they deserve!
My friend was being abused by her stepdad...she wouldnt tell anyone except me and made me promise i wouldnt tell....i came home crying because i've grown up law enforcement and have seen many results of cases from child abuse resulting in death...it scared me. i told my mom and went and told a police officer. since then the stepdad is no longer in her life and she is still alive. i wish every kid was this lucky...it makes me sick...
my friend is alyssa n she gets beats 2 n 1 day she died n she was best friend n wen ever i hear thee song it reminds me of her so much. I MISS U ALSSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's easy to see the child thats bruised. but not so easy to see emotional or sexual abuse. I went through it, even now I still feal the effects. I just dont feel safe without my collar on. Call me wierd but it makes me feel safe and wanted.
This song says that people being abused not only affects the person being abused but the people around them. I always cry when I hear this song, and the video is just so sad. My friend had the same situation, but thank god, me and my friends stopped it and told a teacher, and got help for her. God Bless every child, no one should have to go through that kind of shit. ^^
may god help all the children that have to go through this, even sexual abuse. My twin bro was sexualy abused, wenever new about it till he left his suicide note, he thought if he told us he wouldnt be loved. god bless you all
awsome vid. this is great for others to be seeing if that person is going through this trouble...if you suspect that a child is being abused please call 800-224-453,.. stop this maddness in the world
good point..but even if thats the case..fear would cave in and they would try to do something about ..wouldn't they?weather itd be to turn on themselves..their enemy..or whatever?
as someone who came from an abusive parent its hard telling people i did the same thing til my mom got a disvorce from my dad seven years later its hard to explai but if your in it you understnd
When I was a kid, I was abused. And I was put into foster care. But it wasn't me that called. I just took it as the normal. Now that I'm older, I understand that it isn't the way that parents should act towards their kids. But to what I was saying, it's hard for a kid to do that partialy because they think that it'll make things worse, and partialy because thay may not know better. NEVER HURT YOUR KIDS! I know that I'll never hurt mine. Knowing what I went through, I don't want to put my kids...
through that. It hurts too much to even think about it now. Why would anybody ever want to do this to their children. Anyway, good video, and I'm glad that child abuse is being more focused on now. Wish it were more focused on when I was younger. Bye for now.
my twin brother and i were abused by my dad i 100% understand what your saying. When he went in to an alcoholic rage he killed Christain. people its hard to tell, i never told any one. then foster care came.
because when thats happening to u u dont no wat to do and ur afraid of every little thing that u think might help telling...u think itll make it worse...taking a knife to them wont help u have no idea wat ur talking about u dont no unless uve been thru it...its hard
I am a survivor of child abuse and this video was amazing thank you and keep up the good work. this video made me remember a lot of what happened and looking back now it just makes me mad to think what kind of person could do that to their own flesh and blood.
OK, this is the first real video that I've ever seen for this song. Any others were just pictures and stuff. But this is REALLY good. Ray, you should go to be a professional director. And I would suggest, if you want to, redoing this video with a better camera. Maybe it was just the computer, but it was just a little pixely.
I listen to this song a lot though it makes me cry. I can't say I've ever been abused to know what is exactly like but my father used to spank us with a very hard wooden plank basically which really hurt. That's as close as I can relate though, but I do my part to try and end it. I donate money frequently to help end it.
see thats what stupid people do throw money at a problem and hope it goes away when action is the only thing thats gonna stop it and what do you think these people do go to big meetings where there are other child abusers
If you've got a problem with how I hope to end things good for you and keep your comments to yourself. I understand that only action works, but what am I stupposed to do? Go door to door checking every house for abused kids? Donating at least is able to help find the kids or even pets. So shut it about others being stupid and as I said 'keep comments to yourself'.
well seeing as this is america i will express my opinion as i see fit and ill tell you what we do in alabama we beat the hell out of people that do this shit pedophiles rapists abusers whatever and it may seem socially backwards but it works
Alright well Pennsylvania and Alabama are different. We've got to deal with Philadelphia. Great city, but many killings and crimes. Anyways I really think we should stop this stupid agrguing. You have your opinions and I have mine. Even if I don't agree wth how you handle rapists, abusers, etc. and you think my way of helping causes is stupid. We'll just stop spamming the comment board. Is that ok? If not you can email me and continue it there.
i'm sorry that that happens to you but you can't expect everyone to know what you're going through. it's fine for them to cry you don't have to freak out about it. you're not the only person in the world who's been hurt
i am sorry bout ur brother:( me or either of my siblins no wat it is like to be abused but i dnt understand y ppl would have kids and then abuse them.that is soooooooooooo wrong
My brother is almost 21 and i'm almost 18. Ever since i was 4 years old i was always getting abused. my brother never got abused only i did so i started to think that maybe i was a mistake and i shouldn't be in this world. but then i just got used to being hit all those years and i still get hit but now it's my brother that hits me. my parents don't touch me cuz i defend myself and i pull a knife on them if they try to touch me. but my brother is stronger, and i'm just glad i'm leaving soon.
I know how you feel, sorta, its not my brother that abuses me bc i dont have one, but my alcaholic parents do so i guess i know what your going through and i know its frustrating when people tell you to say something when realisticly its not easy :)
If you belive my life story then why not your friend, im sure she needs you t belie her and help her more than anything right now, ive been getting by for 2 years so i think im doing okay, i mean, there are some kids out there who dont even have fathers so i shouldnt complain about what mine does to me.
Hey, there's an organization called CASAC, the Chautauqua Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counsel. They handle matters of drugs and alcohol. One of their branches is Awareness Theater. They basically go around and perform skits on how to deal with these things, recognise signs, ect. Anyways, one skit we do is called Alcoholism in the Family. It's about how typically when soembody in a family has a problem with alcohol, everybody will asume roles. Continued in next comment...
Anyways, these are coping mechanisms that people will use. There's The scapegoat, the person who's always blamed and such, the clown or mascot, who will break tention, the invisible child, the one who says just enough to get by, the hero, the one who always wants praise and is usually very busy, and then i forgot the rest. Sorry about that. I haven't done it in a while. Continued in next comment...
The point is, if somebody has latched onto one of these behaviors, they have now become part of a problem family. The rules of thsi family: Don't talk, don't feel, don't trust. If any of this sounds familiar, then you may want to look up CASAC, Awareness Theater, or Alcoholism in the Family. NOTE: THIS IS NOT SPAM. I AM NOT ADVERTISING. I AM ATTEMPTING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE RADIUS OF THESE PROGRAMS' REACHES.
All i can say is that I hurt for all those abused. I have been the friend who knows, been there when it happened. Every chance I had I spent the night with her as it was less likely they did it when I was there. Hurt terrible, still does. If you have know one to be the voice for you&U do not wish to voice it yourself I am sorry. So, I am praying 4 you. I pray that God will come to produce beauty from your pain. Father, Jesus please intervene. Send angles to battle this evil& rescue your children
I was mentally, emotionally,and (mildly) physically abused when I was younger. I think it was because I have Cerebral Palsy. But I live with my grandparents now.
my mom & dad both abuse me how can call them when they are always following me around the house kicking and hitting me and my dad even rapes me soon enough i will have a kid cause he has dare i say it got me pregnate so how can i call huh? i will get killed or more beaten then i already get
yeah but do you know what it like to be abused??? let meh guess NO i've been abused my brother was killed then after he died i was abused at the age of 5 years old
I've been abused so much that i have a broken arm cause of my dad it gets worse and worse each day sometimes i get thrown into the wall or kicked in the mouth he says if i scream or tell anyone he will kill me i'm so so scared and my mom sits by and lets him abuse me sometimes she even helps him i have so many cuts and burses from them at school all my friend asks me what happened and i say i fell off my bike when my brother was 2 my dad kicked him in the back so hard he died then they abused me
Ya all other people do is sit on the ass and say oh how sad and shit when no one reall know's what it's like to be hit kicked and everything else at least i can say that i know one person that has been abused before and still is i'm 16 right now i can't wait till i'm 18 to give them a taste of what they have gave me cause that's also when i can move as far away as i want to me and my boyfriend are going to a different state when we move maybe flordia who knows
Yeah tel that to meh mum and dad! Cuz wen i waz 5 then my brother gto kicked in tha back so hard he died and could i do anything about it? NO I COULDN'T! i wasen't abused then i was abused after my brother was killed cuz he told his teacher about the abuse he's gettin an the teacher called a conference and asked my mum and dad if they was abusin meh brother an dey said no he fell he's such a silly little boy always fallin my brother was 13 at the time i waz tha younger sib
you all can sit here and say "omg thats so sad" and go on about it, but no one knows twhat its like to actually be hit by the ppl who are ment to love you know matter what! my father hits me and its been so bad i have screamed from teh pain and nothing stopped he kept hitting me and taped my mouth closed so that i couldnt scream!im hit atleast 2ce a day and the ppl at skool notice the bruises and making up lies to save my dads ass is so hard! like i said no one knows what its like to be abused!!
Sxclilquarterhorse - you need to contact your local Department of Social and Health services (DSHS) or CPS --- they'll direct you on how to get help.... at the very least, call the police!
yea well its easier said than done and even tho my life's not worth much i dont plan on telling some one when all ill get for it is another hit. ill say something when im good and ready, you dont know what its like to have no one to talk to about it unless u tell them straight out whats wrong and as far as im concerend councillors are nosy and i DEFINATLY dont want to tell the DSHS because i would like to stay as far away from a foster home as i can.
Your life IS worth a great deal. The love you hold in your heart is the greatest worth anyone has. To say that you are not worth much is another form of abusive. It is a psychological derivative of the abuse. No matter what you will have a long emotional road ahead of you. Every day you mentally degrade your self worth you mentally reinforce the abuse in your life long after the physical aspect is gone. without self-love you leave the wounds gaping&the abuse continuously cycles in your life. luv
Please tell someone because my friend says she gets abused but i dont believe her but i know that the stuff hapens to other kids so why couldn't it happen to her i guess i just want to block it out of my head because its too sad! but i feel pain when listiung to this song i cried when i first heard it it was sad
hey rayh007 is right if your dad is hitting you you really need to tell someone or its going to get worse and worse. i'm not forcing you to do anything really i'm just telling you that you need to tell someone before its to late.
my promise to my children: you will never have to go through what i went through as a child. i will not let any man or myself ever put thier hands on you in any way that would hurt you. i love you forever and always. -mommy

sweetie you got to tell some one about whats happening to your friend
that is the only way that you can protect him and keep him safe
he may or may not be mad at you but eventualy he will see that you told so
that you could protect him.because if you dont tell things will only get worse for your friend not better but worse.

My friend was being abused by her stepdad...she wouldnt tell anyone except me and made me promise i wouldnt tell....i came home crying because i've grown up law enforcement and have seen many results of cases from child abuse resulting in death...it scared me. i told my mom and went and told a police officer. since then the stepdad is no longer in her life and she is still alive. i wish every kid was this lucky...it makes me sick...

It's easy to see the child thats bruised. but not so easy to see emotional or sexual abuse. I went through it, even now I still feal the effects. I just dont feel safe without my collar on. Call me wierd but it makes me feel safe and wanted.

This song says that people being abused not only affects the person being abused but the people around them. I always cry when I hear this song, and the video is just so sad. My friend had the same situation, but thank god, me and my friends stopped it and told a teacher, and got help for her. God Bless every child, no one should have to go through that kind of shit. ^^

When I was a kid, I was abused. And I was put into foster care. But it wasn't me that called. I just took it as the normal. Now that I'm older, I understand that it isn't the way that parents should act towards their kids. But to what I was saying, it's hard for a kid to do that partialy because they think that it'll make things worse, and partialy because thay may not know better. NEVER HURT YOUR KIDS! I know that I'll never hurt mine. Knowing what I went through, I don't want to put my kids...
wprosser2008 3 years ago 2
through that. It hurts too much to even think about it now. Why would anybody ever want to do this to their children. Anyway, good video, and I'm glad that child abuse is being more focused on now. Wish it were more focused on when I was younger. Bye for now.

OK, this is the first real video that I've ever seen for this song. Any others were just pictures and stuff. But this is REALLY good. Ray, you should go to be a professional director. And I would suggest, if you want to, redoing this video with a better camera. Maybe it was just the computer, but it was just a little pixely.

I listen to this song a lot though it makes me cry. I can't say I've ever been abused to know what is exactly like but my father used to spank us with a very hard wooden plank basically which really hurt. That's as close as I can relate though, but I do my part to try and end it. I donate money frequently to help end it.

cowgirl067 3 years ago
see thats what stupid people do throw money at a problem and hope it goes away when action is the only thing thats gonna stop it and what do you think these people do go to big meetings where there are other child abusers
thusalwaystotyrants 3 years ago
If you've got a problem with how I hope to end things good for you and keep your comments to yourself. I understand that only action works, but what am I stupposed to do? Go door to door checking every house for abused kids? Donating at least is able to help find the kids or even pets. So shut it about others being stupid and as I said 'keep comments to yourself'.
cowgirl067 3 years ago
well seeing as this is america i will express my opinion as i see fit and ill tell you what we do in alabama we beat the hell out of people that do this shit pedophiles rapists abusers whatever and it may seem socially backwards but it works
thusalwaystotyrants 3 years ago
Alright well Pennsylvania and Alabama are different. We've got to deal with Philadelphia. Great city, but many killings and crimes. Anyways I really think we should stop this stupid agrguing. You have your opinions and I have mine. Even if I don't agree wth how you handle rapists, abusers, etc. and you think my way of helping causes is stupid. We'll just stop spamming the comment board. Is that ok? If not you can email me and continue it there.

My brother is almost 21 and i'm almost 18. Ever since i was 4 years old i was always getting abused. my brother never got abused only i did so i started to think that maybe i was a mistake and i shouldn't be in this world. but then i just got used to being hit all those years and i still get hit but now it's my brother that hits me. my parents don't touch me cuz i defend myself and i pull a knife on them if they try to touch me. but my brother is stronger, and i'm just glad i'm leaving soon.

Hey, there's an organization called CASAC, the Chautauqua Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counsel. They handle matters of drugs and alcohol. One of their branches is Awareness Theater. They basically go around and perform skits on how to deal with these things, recognise signs, ect. Anyways, one skit we do is called Alcoholism in the Family. It's about how typically when soembody in a family has a problem with alcohol, everybody will asume roles. Continued in next comment...
dapR18 3 years ago
Anyways, these are coping mechanisms that people will use. There's The scapegoat, the person who's always blamed and such, the clown or mascot, who will break tention, the invisible child, the one who says just enough to get by, the hero, the one who always wants praise and is usually very busy, and then i forgot the rest. Sorry about that. I haven't done it in a while. Continued in next comment...
dapR18 3 years ago
The point is, if somebody has latched onto one of these behaviors, they have now become part of a problem family. The rules of thsi family: Don't talk, don't feel, don't trust. If any of this sounds familiar, then you may want to look up CASAC, Awareness Theater, or Alcoholism in the Family. NOTE: THIS IS NOT SPAM. I AM NOT ADVERTISING. I AM ATTEMPTING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE RADIUS OF THESE PROGRAMS' REACHES.

All i can say is that I hurt for all those abused. I have been the friend who knows, been there when it happened. Every chance I had I spent the night with her as it was less likely they did it when I was there. Hurt terrible, still does. If you have know one to be the voice for you&U do not wish to voice it yourself I am sorry. So, I am praying 4 you. I pray that God will come to produce beauty from your pain. Father, Jesus please intervene. Send angles to battle this evil& rescue your children

why is it bad to be sympathetic to people who are being abused?
No offense, just because some people can't relate like you it isn't a bad thing.
They're actually saying that they don't support what happened to you even though they can't relate, and they feel bad for you.
And I too think it's sad what happened to you.

yea well its easier said than done and even tho my life's not worth much i dont plan on telling some one when all ill get for it is another hit. ill say something when im good and ready, you dont know what its like to have no one to talk to about it unless u tell them straight out whats wrong and as far as im concerend councillors are nosy and i DEFINATLY dont want to tell the DSHS because i would like to stay as far away from a foster home as i can.
Thankyou for caring tho
SxcLilQuarterHorse 3 years ago
Your life IS worth a great deal. The love you hold in your heart is the greatest worth anyone has. To say that you are not worth much is another form of abusive. It is a psychological derivative of the abuse. No matter what you will have a long emotional road ahead of you. Every day you mentally degrade your self worth you mentally reinforce the abuse in your life long after the physical aspect is gone. without self-love you leave the wounds gaping&the abuse continuously cycles in your life. luv
