Editor’s Note: Welcome back to our count down of our most popular posts ever. Today we tackle #4 on the all time list.
Early on in the ministry of Divorce Ministry 4 Kids, we came across a study that indicated that living with a single parents or in a step-family increases the likelihood that children will experience abuse or neglect. We spent a month talking about what abuse is, how to recognize it, what to do about it, and what type of plan your church should have. Our sample policy on reporting abuse and neglect comes in #7 all time on our list putting this series in the #4 spot.
