I think there is so much child abuse and neglect because people who shouldn't be having kids have them anyway... because "everyone" has kids. It is just something you do.. get married, have kids, and die. People give more thought about acquiring a new pet than the decision to have children.
Some people just aren't suited to have kids, and they're smart not to.
What percentage of these folks do you believe would listen to anything the good reverand has to say?
The overwhelming majority of child abusers/neglecters don't know Christ and won't listen to anything a man of God has to say. (Not to mention my skepticism toward those abusers who say they know Christ) So as far as your statement goes, those folks really aren't his target audience are they?
