The tongue is mightier than the pen

Whomever said that the pen is mightier than the sword obviously had not been privileged enough to be on the receiving end of a verbal assault. Nothing cuts deeper than words said in anger and spite by the ones we love. Such battles should not be fought with or against children.

Time may heal all wounds but the scars never go away. I only hope that the innocent victims heal sooner rather than later and that they regain their innocence. It is the duty of us bystanders to protect the innocent and help them to heal.

Both can be vicous and both can also pacify, depending on the intentions. It's the intentions that one has to be aware of. But you're right that the onslaught of verbal attacks and children is a bad situation. The immediacy of it is like using a 2x4 over their heads.
