Barnardos Ireland Ad: Change a Child's Life - Conor's Story

This year is one of the toughest years we have ever witnessed for the children and families we work with. Every day we see the impact and effects of poverty, neglect, disadvantage and violence on children. And every day we work with these children to help change their lives for the better.

We desperately need your support to help children like Conor overcome the hardships they were born into and to build better brighter futures.

Think before you push your child down the stairs or smack him with a sweeping brush

I researched that Barnardos gets millions off de government every year, so if thats true why are you's trying to get money off de public considerin ya get millions, I also researched concern are de same aswell, the money is only to benefit corparations and not the poor people, its cute how ya have child actors do de ads to try to convince the public to give you money, if I was to ever give to a charity, it wuld be immortal techniqes charity Omeid International, a Non–Profit Human Rights charity

the use of language comes across is poor. i.e."mum and dad would suffer with metal health issues" . This terminology, awful generic use of "mum and dad"and "would suffer from"takes away from the add and de humanizes the parents. Combined with the forced halting of words, it loses sincerity and looks affected. "His mum and dad suffered from depression", what is wrong with putting it like this?
