At most any time in the news, on television, or in a magazine you can learn about the plight of children. Whether it be hunger, lack of clean drinking water or cures for childhood cancer. But there are champions on Steemit who speak out on topics that effect the children that are not covered on main stream news. This is my attempt to recognize a few.

When I look back on my life the majority of my time on this planet has been dedicated to the well-being of children. Later in life, as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, I cared for women throughout their pregnancies or helped them conceive through intrauterine insemination. Earlier in life, new mother myself, I was a stay-at-home mom who chose to breastfeed my children like Hive account@canadian-coconut her post linked here is so inspiring for sure. I practiced marsupial mothering and kept my babies close to mimic the months in the womb. As a mother I enjoyed a "family bed" and was not surprised to read this post. And, if you follow Hive account@canadian-coconut at all, you will find she shares accurate information about the dangers of vaccinations.

And then there are the champions like @doitvoluntarily and @titusfrost who share how the pedophiles prey on innocent children. I thank them for their research on this horrendous assault on children and having the courage to speak out in defense of children.

With a smile on my face, it is nice to reflect on posts from @saiku and @papa-pepper who share the joys of being a father. I feel quite certain that they would go to the ends of the earth to protect their children.

And I would definitely be remiss if I did not mention @citizenpresscorp .....the courage you showed sharing a major mistake in your life and being able to speak out in defense of the unborn.... please don't ever stop.

And finally, for those champions on Steemit that speak out about the flaws of the education system like @sterlinluxan and @currentflows and those who offer alternatives to improve minds like @camille1234 so we all can become better humans, parents, grandparents, and role models for the children a big thank you for sure!

As for me, I will also continue to speak out against crimes being perpetrated against children

Ephesians 6:10-13King James Version (KJV)
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
