Child abuse has been around for ages with people choosing to ignore it but in the early 1870’s it was brought to our country’s attention by a little girl named Mary Ellen Wilson. This eight-year-old orphan was getting daily whippings from her foster home (findlaw). At the time, there was no foundation that was there to protect abused children so the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals handled the eight-year-old orphan’s case (findlaw).
