Off-Topic: Protecting My Child’s Innocence

Hi there.
I think this is the first time ever since I started writing for Our One Heart that I have digressed from the Weddings and Honeymoons topic. I normally wouldn’t break this unspoken rule if I didn’t feel strongly enough about what I’m about to share.
My daughter has been a victim of bullying. Bullying with a racial slur. An assault. A physical and emotional assault.
I am angry. I am disappointed. I know I could’ve kept quiet and said nothing but I feel that I should make a stand to protect my child’s innocence.
I’ve written about the incident and my plea on my personal blog. If you have time, please feel free to visit and read my entry: Protecting My Child’s Innocence.
Please read our story and share it with everyone and anyone you know. Blog about, forward it to your friends and family, Share it on Facebook. Plurk/Twitter about it. Anything.
Help us stop racism. Help us stop bullying.
Thank you!
