This story is showed in\na simple domestic language, using the visual symbols of society, where domestic\nviolence, or child abuse is not only possible but very popular, even though it\nis not today\u2019s hot topic. Nowadays you may say, that this violence is partly\nlegalized, because we refer those crimes as administrative and not penal.\nCommon image of the sun (father in this video) that gave life to a young girl,\ndestroys her life. It can be anything that we depend on, that every person\ndepends on individually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
