violence against children

i was very happy watching the news this evening, listening to the news about working against the violence in the family, and the influence on the children and how we should work with the children who are living in domestic violence ... what i am worried about is the children of the immigrant families, if they can speak about it, if this would not be more difficult for them, or if they know that they should not be ashamed to speak about it, did we think about different methods to reach for those children, do we know that many children who are living in domestic violence families, do not want to speak about that because they would feel that they are betrayed their famlilies, can we try to solve some of this cultural differences while we are speaking about this problem... can we try to use people who know the background of those families to deal with the problem, are´nt we suppose to educate the immigrants about the influence of the domestic violence on their children... 

in many countries even in the USA spanking the child is ok, or it is not against the law... 

let us hope that all of us can work together to have the best society everyone is dreaming about
