“To protect is an act of love, and from love, cruelty sometimes ensues. By hiding the truth, we shield the heart, shield the body from harm, but what of the soul? What of every child’s need to be loved by a mother, by a father? What of the steady rock of family where falls can be broken, errors are simple lessons in life, dreams are fed with encouragement? All this can be lost for the cruelty of love.”
