The key phrase in this entire song... "because there's nothing that anyone would do." He didn't say COULD, he said WOULD because there's a big difference. If you suspect child abuse, call it out!! Who cares if you're wrong? I'd rather be wrong and make sure a child is safe than do nothing and risk that they aren't.

Lyle, For some reason our parents abused my older brother & I out of 7 children. In 6th grade I was admitted to hospital one evening and the next morning I was having emergency eye surgery for a detached retina that my mother caused in one of her rages against me while using my father’s thick mailman belt. From the 1st grade-12th grade family, neighbors, school officials and even school bus drivers saw the slap hand prints on my face, the bruises, the switch marks across my face, ETC., and NOBODY, NO ADULT ever tried to step in and help my older brother & I. I finally escaped home after another beating by my mother 2 weeks before 12th grade graduation. wado for watching & hearing this song.

When I was in my 30s I learned my ENTIRE hometown knew we were abused. Not one single person ever said a thing. 1200 ppl..no one have a f*ck enough to try and help 2 kids.

This song is a real punch to the gut. Thx for playing it.

Hey bud , from Melbourne here. I was severely abused as a child age 3 til I turned 11. Nobody spoke, or told about anything that happened to me, even though I was passed through a ring which was orchestrated by my parents (and people knew about it all). It's sad that in this day and age it's STILL happening. My abuse occured in 1979, so a fair way back, but the physical and psychological scars are still there now. I've almost ended up dead several times (of my own hand, of course and once by someone else's), but I try to keep struggling on every day. Keep reacting to songs that mean something, they truly hit home. 🖤

I did say have tissues when watching this one. This video shows why songs like this need to be played. It helps kids realize that what they are going through isn't normal and that they can hopefully find help.

This shows how evil people are. If you hurt a child you need the death penalty. There would be no waiting or appeals if you did it you die there’s no question

One of the most important songs every!!!!

Hey Lyle!!! I hope you have been well. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 & a half months ago. I have been trying to prevent going on insulin. Really haven't been getting home in time for lives. BUT, I almostade it for this one. You know the situation with my grandson, so you know this touches my heart so very deeply. If only people would SPEAK UP with they hear Child abuse or witness it. Charlie would have a better life, if only....

@@staceysmith8173 thanks so much Stacey. I have been working really hard on my condition and I have lost a good bit of weight. So much, my scrubs are almost falling off me. It runs on both sides of my family. But, I never wanted to hear that diagnosis. It is getting easier. I have lost so much weight that my scrubs are pinned at the waistline bc they started falling off. Follow up appointment is next month. Fingers crossed 🤞.

This song punches you in the gut & Alyssa is the guardian Angel for the kids that were helped in this classroom

Why do people do this? I don't understand? This makes me cry every time I see it. And angry also.

Excellent message!! Thanks for sharing this!!!!

Love this reaction

I live in North carolina. My wife works at a daycare. She's required by state law to report any suspected abuse. Unfortunately this is a true story based out of Youngsville North Carolina

This should be played in every school

Thanx Pat. What a great way to create awareness in a classroom. Hugs

THIS SONG TOOK JASON OVER THREE YEARS TO WRITE. THE TOPIC TORE HIM UP EMOTIONALLY .THE LITTLE GIRL RUNNING TO HER DAD ABOUT ALYSSA WAS HIS DAUGHTER. [THEY SAY, WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW] . ALYSSA WAS HIS DAUGHTERS' NEW LITTLE FRIEND. SCENES IN THE VIDEO IS ACTUALLY WHERE THEY LIVE. THAT WAS JASON IN THE TOWN VIDEO. YOU ALSO DID ANOTHER TRUE STORY, CONCRETE ANGEL. THE LITTLE GIRL WAS MARTINA'S 7-Y-O NIECE . HER SISTER STARTED THE ABUSE BECAUSE THE HUSBAND LEFT. THE MARKINGS ON THE HEADSTONE WAS HER NIECE'S NAME AND HER YEAR OF BIRTH AND YEAR SHE DIED.

Thank you Lyle.

Hope you had tissues

One of my all time favorite songs! 😢

Thanks for reaching to this one Lyle. You never know, someone might happen upon your genuine reaction to this song and seek help.

Did you notice her note said he hit me and the sign at the church said honor they father and happy father's day.

It's simple if you suspect something say something. We have Police and Child Protective Service for a reason.

Took 2yrs for him to write this song

Hi Lyle I don't care if you do reactions to them but you may enjoy Daddys hands by Holly Dunn and Thats my job by Conway Twitty.Hope you feel better.

Men need to understand this.

If my wife and I could have kids and they wouldn't be in public school schools, but we are involved with our schools

Another song that will have a real effect on you is Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. Please react to it also.

People do things like that because they have mental health issues.
