It is a stock/paid image, and indeed photoshopped; but we have to believe our readers would prefer that to a cover image of a &quot;truly&quot; abused child, which in most jurisdictions is also against the law to publish the photo of a child without his/her permission.  The image is illustrative in nature, only.  ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mary, with all due respect we didn&#8217;t find it appropriate to cover the story with an image of a child that was &#8220;truly&#8221; abused.
