Only For Children - Warning For Adults!
This Ad Has a Secret Anti-Abuse Message That Only Kids Can See
In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called the Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation, or ANAR for short, created an ad that displays a different message for adults and children at the same time.
The secret behind the ad's wizardry is a lenticular top layer, which shows different images at varying angles. So when an adult—or anyone taller than four feet, five inches—looks at it they only see the image of a sad child and the message: "sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it." But when a child looks at the ad, they see bruises on the boy's face and a different message: "if somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you" alongside the foundation's phone number.
The ad is designed to empower kids, particularly if their abuser happens to be standing right next to them. And while this is a great and worthwhile use of lenticular images, how long will it be before toy companies start doing to the same thing to hawk their products directly at kids?

My Journey To Hell - NEW BLOG!
What Makes Me a Survivor?
I was hurt
And vulnerable
Hurt and unprotected
And mocked
Put down And trampled upon
Pushed through the dirt
And covered in mud
Buried headfirst in deep dreck
But I pushed and pulled
Wrestled and struggled
Till I could get my feet straight on the ground
And slowly
Slowly but surely
I fought the fight
I screamed
I shouted
I cried
And let it all out
I uncovered my wounds
Showed the world
My journey to hell
I warned them
And begged them
Let me be the last to suffer
They didn't listen
They don't want to hear
They say ignorance is bliss
So I will keep screaming
Till they hear my voice
Till they recognize our pain
And say no more
I will fight
To save myself
And to save all the children
Because everyone deserves a life
Everyone but those who took ours
Everyone has a voice to be heard
Everyone but those who silenced ours
We will start taking them down
By rising above
And protecting
I am a warrior, a survivor
And will no longer be victimized.
