Fighting Child Abuse With Cartoons

Add Spokesman-Review on Google

In Facebook world, a number of Friend of Huckleberries Online changed their profile photos to cartoon characters as a solidarity move against child abuse. KEA exec Terry Harris laments that the move did little to combat the two awful cases of child abuse in Kootenai County that made the news today (see below). Quoth Terry: “North Idaho (is) proving today, quite sadly, that changing my profile picture to a cartoon over the weekend has had no impact whatsoever.” Meanwhile, Dustin Hurst writes: “I decided to start a fight against illegal drugs by posting a pic of my favorite legal drug! I can feel change in the air already. How refreshing it is to be able to combat the ills of the world from my Dell laptop.”

Question: Did you change your Facebook profile picture as a solidarity move to combat child abuse? Is there any real way to get a handle on child abuse?
