Betsy Brown Braun: Children Should Be Seen and Heard

Saying "You shouldn't feel that way" or "Oh c'mon, that didn't scare you" teaches a child not to trust his own feelings and perceptions. In order to pay attention to his gut, a child's feelings must be honored.

The entire staff needs to be replaced due to the fact there had to be others that were doing things to the children, or others knew about it and did nothing.
