Abuse of any type is a despicable thing no matter who it is directed towards, but a local child abuse advocate wishes more light would be shed towards the children of society who face this unfortunate reality every day.
Executive Director of the Children's Advocacy Center in DeWitt, Livingston and McLean Counties, Judy Brucker, says the coverage of the Harvey Weinstein is most certainly warranted but questions why media coverage isn't as caught up in things that happen to children, especially at a high profile level.
In analyzing the way these stories come out and the victims come forward, Brucker finds a lot of similarities between children and adults.
According to Brucker, the reason kids and adults do not come out with the things they are experiencing is a pretty simple one. She feels if they disclose the things happening to them, it will hurt people around them and even change their immediate situation.
Brucker feels people need to stop putting each other pedestals and realize anyone can abuse any other person, which can be things sometimes hard to do and hard to believe.
