KILLING OR INJURY TO CHILDREN ON RISE WEB SERVICE HELPS PARENTS Written by LINDA J ALEXANDER, ESQ
Continued from page 1
Present Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics reveal that more than thirty-five percent of our children are being raised in households with only one of their biological parents and may include a stepparent or an unmarried partner. Statistically, a child in that situation shows a forty times greater chance of being abused than when living with two biological parents. Small wonder that increases in child abuse are skyrocketing, up from 400,000 reported cases in 1976 to almost 4 million reported cases in 1997. The disturbing reality of escalating child abuse in United States today is driven home daily by shocking news reports and television broadcasts. In San Diego, a seven-month-old baby girl was burned over eighty-five percent of her body when child's mother left home briefly to run errands, leaving her baby alone with a boyfriend who police say put infant in scalding water in kitchen sink. In Springfield, Missouri, an ex-lover and allegedly father of an unborn baby, murdered a nine-months-pregnant mother and her three young children. He confessed to committing these crimes along with his new girlfriend. In Houston, Missouri, Texas County prosecutor charged Bobby Mayes with killing his wife and teenage stepdaughter. Mayes had a prior record of eight felony convictions from sexual abuse to burglary. With tragedies like these reported in every part of country, major concerns arise as to who may be trusted with our children. .

Do you regularly drink carbonated beverages? Did you know that carbonated drinks increase body's intake of phosphorus - which, in turn, decreases our absorption of calcium. Decreased absorption of calcium can lead to an unhealthy, nutrient-starved skeletal system. And in time lead to osteoporosis. Whilst calcium is necessary, it is not only critical micronutrient for healthy bones. Make sure your diet has an adequate supply of magnesium, zinc, silicon, boron, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Manganese, vitamin K, vitamin D and magnesium. These trace elements are important and we are not getting them from our regular food consumption patterns. The Journal of Nutritional Medicine reports between 80 to 85 per cent of Americans consume a magnesium-deficient diet. Your bone density may also be improved by a gentle regime of weight bearing exercise which stimulates body to make bone tissue. Medical evidence supports an improvement in bone density where people make lifestyle changes to incorporate weight bearing exercise, a diet more rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, complemented with high quality nutritional supplements. Why wait until you bones start breaking before you think about ensuring a healthy skeletal system?
