I am a secondary school sports and health teacher. I am aware of the problems children can have as they grow up in this ever-changing world.  I work closely with the teens to ensure they are mentally healthy. I believe if anyone hurts a child, they should be jailed and not given a lighter sentence for whatever a judge may find as an extenuating circumstance. There is never any reason to hurt a child. I think we need to address the problem of youth unemployment in the country area, and I will make this a priority.
