Social Issue: Child Abuse

I think this image has a strong message that is portrayed differently than what a person would normally think of.
I chose this piece because it, like the picture, has a very strong message that is understandable through a single image. 

I like how it looks like two children and a parent happy and throwing their arms up in joy. It is that ideal of happiness that the logo is promoting.
