Oh my God, Riko!! This brings chills to my body as well as my mind and my soul. You've really got to stop making me cry so much, hon'! XOXO Love, me

very cool

abuse will stop when people agree to not have children if they cant handle the responsibility,it will end when mothers and fathers take anger management courses along with the Lamaze classes, the abuse will stop when a child takes action, fight dont lay there and take it,scream ,run.... call the police,call the justice system ,make the difference change the attitude... sorry ur image brought up old memories.. thank u riko,ty

Agree with BonBon. I have to say it did get to me. and as a Father of Two wonderful angels... I can't imagine what goes through people's minds to provoke such actions. You really got to me here. As usual Henri, powerful work.

powerful piece Henrique

Nice work.....powerful image! And I agree, things like this have got to end....the innocence of a child is nothing to play with!! ps/ great band too!!!!!

I dont kno waht to add. Just a powerful img my friend.

powerful bro.. and i TOTALLY agree with bonbon..very nicely done..:)

sadistic image but its cool i guess not my style though (:

...this would make a good tv commercial, its a very powerful messege... well done

My AOM favorite U are the MAN!!!!!

Riko...unfortunately animals that hurt children will not be easily stopped. I agree with JV, it would make a superb commercial. Rape, in ANY form should never be accepted or stuck in a corner because it's message is too hard to handle. I am PROUD of you for bringing it into the open and giving focus to a rampant and disgusting issue found all over the world. Perpertrators should be made to feel the shame a million times over, for there will never be nor should there EVER be, a turning of the cheek and another chance given to them. Victims to these creatures need love, support, and care...for they will be violated for life. Wounds may eventually heal......but the spirit will always ache for the horror they endured. My heart goes out to each and every one of them adult or child who has ever been violated. HUGS to you my friend for your courage and conviction. U are an AMAZING artist!!!

you have captured my memories and thoughts. for all the innocent ones, i thank you!!!! HUGS and more hugs

I agree with all of you of course.....being also a father of two kids. But please Rose, do not compare those "things" with animals. That's an insult for animals. I think that people like this are the biggest criminals on earth and beyond. This brings me to something I really despise...all the fuss about, for example, Napster and getting them off the internet while there are STILL child pornography/abuse sites out there. Just think about it....because there's no money-loss involved with that they won't go against it that hard. God, I'm no man with a lot of hatred in me, but if I ever run into a person like that he/she has got to run hard. My idea of a punishment would be to put them in a normal prison and tell all the inmates what he/she has done......sorry, thank God I've not been there, but just thinking about it makes me furious!!! Respect, Johnnie...

strong image riko,my heart go bad qhen i see it. good work. and...''if you see a pedoman,kill him!''

Well done and a really good idea!!! Verdie of Dreamspinner

Makes me wanna cry! So touching! so simple but so strong! Love it**

Bravo Johnnie....for your comment, I think Rose meant animals as in man beasts, but you touched on something very true....That tolerating violence and sexual content of the abuse of children is left largely unattended, and yet the world squeeks its wheels toward crushing napster. Riko, one can never know what it is to suffer the horror, the nightmares, the idea that as a child one did something wrong and needs to punished, that if the child loved the perpetrator a little more, they wouldn't have done this. Thank you for the courage of your convictions.

the bible says an eye for an eye in the case of child abuse the ante should be a soul for a soul.....if you take prepare to be taken...perhaps that would stop these preditorial monsters.....where is gods smote when you need it.

I LOVE YOUR ART VERY GREAT IMAGE AND MESSAGE PUT FORTH!!
