I’m trying something new – I’m submitting some artwork to the latest Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse.  The works below have great meaning for some within the system.  I’m a little hesitant about submitting them, but want to support the carnival and the cause it is paying attention to this month – World Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse.

Story in her eyes

What story do the abusers see in their victims eyes?
Do they see anything, or are they scared to look?
I wonder if the look in a victims eyes has ever haunted them or kept them awake at night?
