For the Children With Love: : Danielle's Story C O Valt

I have spent many years working with children and families. I have learned a lot and there are some things that I know to be true. Children are innocent. Bad behavior is learned. Parents are not perfect. Both children and parents make mistakes. The world is good, yet there is evil looming where nobody expects. Love is the most powerful tool in healing. It doesn't matter how old a child is, if there are two parents or only one, or how much education and money a family has, abuse can happen. Some do not have the resources to protect their children properly. Some have too many resources that they use to cover up and enable unacceptable behavior. At times, there is little balance. There is only the hope that good will overcome bad, and healing will overcome pain. As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming many things. A ballerina, an artist, a doctor, and even a teacher. I never dreamed I would become a killer.
