???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Children?s right not to be abused ? A very?important problem in my communities is the fact people that deal with kids abused this power. It has being tested that kids get abused from the people they trust the most. Kids parents leave their kids were they think that their child will be saved, but they never know or ask for a background check on the place. I believe the solution should be that people that want to work with kids should seeing by a physiatrist for at least three sections were he can determined the stability of that person. Also they should pass a lie detector test as well has a background check.

Salem Witch Trials

??? The mass-hysteria and belief of witchcraft and black magic had been around before the outbreak in Salem. European countries had outbreaks of this mass hysteria during the black plague. These accusations were a way for society to put the blame on something that they did not have any logical explanation for. Witchcraft was the answer to everything unknown.
