Quote by Andrew Vachss

A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.

A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the lack of protective rights for children in abusive households, even when compared to the rights granted to prisoners of war. It suggests that children in abusive homes often fall through the cracks of societal and legal protections, as there is no equivalent to the Geneva Convention specifically addressing their well-being. It highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, attention, and action to address child abuse and protect the rights of vulnerable children.

We who have lived before railways were made belong to anothe

We who have lived before railways were made belong to another world. It was only yesterday, but what a gulf between now and then! Then was the old world. Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armor, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth -- all these belong to the old period. But your railroad starts the new era, and we of a certain age belong to the new time and the old one. We who lived before railways, and survive out of the ancient world, are like Father Noah and his family out of the Ark.
