SO PLEASE DO READ IT ONLY ONCE :) IT WONT TAKE MORE THEN 5 MIN Thanks !!My name is ChrisI am three,My eyes are swollenI cannot see,I must be stupidI must be bad,What else could have madeMy daddy so mad?I wish I were betterI wish I weren’t ugly,Then maybe my mommyWould still want to hug me.I can't do a wrongI can’t speak at allOr else I'm locked upAll day long.When I'm awake I'm all aloneThe house is darkMy folks aren't homeWhen my mommy does come homeI'll try and be nice,So maybe I'll just getOne whipping tonight.I just heard a carMy daddy is backFrom Charlies barI hear him curseMy name is calledI press myselfAgainst the wallI try to hideFrom his evil eyesI'm so afraid nowI'm starting to cryHe finds me weepingCalls me ugly words,He says its my faultHe suffers at workHe slaps and hits meAnd yells at me more,I finally get freeAnd run to the doorHe's already locked itAnd I start to bawl,He takes me and throws meAgainst the hard wallI fall to the floorWith my bones nearly broken,And my daddy continuesWith more bad words spoken,'I'm sorry!', I screamBut its now much to lateHis face has been twistedInto a unimaginable shapeThe hurt and the painAgain and againO please God, have mercy!O please let it end!And he finally stopsAnd heads for the doorWhile I lay there motionlessSprawled on the floorMy name is ChrisI am three,Tonight my daddyMurdered meAnd you can helpSickens me to the soul,And if you read thisand don't pass it onI pray for your forgivenessBecause you would have to beOne heartless personTo not be affectedBy this PoemAnd because you are affected,Do something about it!IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE! Post this as Daddy ... It hurtsIf you do not send this to everyone you know Then you obviously dont care about child abuse. Origins: This April 2012 item combines a poem about child abuse (told from the viewpoint of a murdered three-year-old abuse victim) with various pictures claimed to be that of an abused child and entreats readers to repost it as a form of campaigning against child abuse. The poem itself has been circulating since the 1990s; it does not document a real case of child abuse and has no connection to the pictured children. The first pictured child is not an abuse victim; she is an English girl named Jade Wardle who suffered injuries from being attacked by her family's pet dog back in 2002 (when she was two years old), as reported by the BBC: A two-year-old girl suffered horrific facial injuries after being attacked by the family's new pet dog.Jade Wardle, from County Durham, had plastic surgery for her injuries and needed a tear duct replaced during surgery on Saturday night.She was injured when the family's new dog, Hooch - a Labrador-cross - lunged at her face as she put her arms around it.The family had owned the dog for just three days.Jade's mother Rochelle, 22, had to kick out at the three-year-old dog, to make it loosen its grip before rushing outside where friends and family telephoned an ambulance.The youngster spent the night in the University Hospital of North Durham, where was treated for her injuries.A different photograph of Jade Wardle was used in another Facebook-circulated fiction advocating against child abuse.
