Safe Sunday & Quotable Sunday memes

Today I am going to be doing two meme's and since the Quotables will be about children I figured I'd put them together since my SS is also in quotes this week. After adding your link for Quotable Sunday, please scroll down and participate in Safe Sunday (speaking out about child abuse) if you have anything to share there.

Safe Sunday (speaking out against Child Abuse)

Child Abuse casts a shadow that lasts a lifetime.
