Child Abuse
Soundtrack By: Allie Sharpe
"It Shouldn't Hurt To Be A Child"-Calli Kathleen (2014)
I chose this song because it explains on how it shouldn't hurt to be a child. When growing up you should have fun and enjoy being little. You shouldn't sit in your closet and hide because you are getting abused.
"Approximately 5 children die every day because of child abuse."

"Concrete Angel" -Martina McBride (2009)
I chose this song because it talks about how she gets up every day and goes to school but keeps a smile on her face. Her dreams give her wings and that's why she is called the angel and she keeps going.
