Blue Ribbons

Each year, more than 3 million children in the USA are reported abused or neglected. About 1 million are confirmed. The women at the Presbyterian church in downtown Chicago remember those children with these blue ribbons on the trees outside their church.

It is in our human nature to love children, even those not our own. But there is also an evil streak in each of us which makes us mean to each other, even unto children. History and our own experiences have taught us that we cannot rid ourselves completely of this evil nature.
