This week the body of a 2 year old boy was found in a Sydney lake.It appears the murderer was his mother, & that he was shaken to death.Like most people I am deeply saddened and disturbed by this.I am a young mother of two sons, aged 5 and 4 mths.I want to know what I can do in the community to reduce the incidences of domestic violence and murder of poor innocent children. Does anyone know of any charities I can support? I understand this is a political issue, as our current childrens services (DOCS) does not have the funds (apparently) to investigate thoroughly each reported case of child domestic violence.This poor 2 year old was reported to DOCS before his murder yet they obviously did not take adequate action or he would still be alive today.I believe that educating & supporting families should help, but some evil people do not care.Is there anything,besides raising my sons with love and care, that I can do to help?I see too much child violence in the media it makes me sick.
