Affects Quote by Roma Downey
“There's an assumption in many of these cultures that these children are mentally retarded, when in fact they're not at all. I saw how the operation affects the child, as well as the child's family and often the village.”
![“I think there is something barbaric in children, and it's missing in lots of books for them because we don't like to think of it. We want them to be happy [but] childhood is a very tough time.” quote by Maurice Sendak](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/453/maurice-sendak-1273_barbaric_i-think-there-is-something-barbaric-in-c_1585478.jpg)
