Children are not Rag dolls

Description

So - a little serious one. I have been working on some more personal art as I get closer to a court date. XD Except my very sober and attempt at physical correctness in body shapes ... sort... of went off track. 
  The doll represents a child who's endured abuse and emotional torment, and is spiralling deeper - away from self-confidence, into a pit of hate, losing childhood. Thus the words around the spiral. Sometimes people, and abusers, forget how fragile a child is - no matter how old or sturdy they seem.
   Drawing this, and working with children in a school club and some of their talks made me think about how much we fear from talking or teaching children about child abuse. So I'm coming up with a name for her, but I'm contemplating having a child friendly story about a rag doll who has to learn to love herself, with different characters who help and/or hinder her along the way. And then, will also have a boy one at some point. Who knows :) So here's my piece. A3 sized
