Children are the most precious gift we can receive. And with that gift comes a responsibility to love, nurture, and protect them. Child abuse is a serious and overwhelming problem in today’s society with serious ramifications, which too often can shape an abused child into an adult with lifelong issues. Every 10 seconds a child is abused. Each year over 3 million children are victims of physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, … even death. And those are only the ones that are reported! Everyday more and more children are neglected, abandoned, beaten, raped, touched inappropriately, mentally tortured, and killed. As you read this, a child is crying out in pain not to be hurt anymore. While there have been advances in child abuse prevention, and the number of child abuse reports have decreased slightly, we still have a long way to go! It’s time for a new approach … a new way of loving our children! By creating public awareness. educating parents, childcare givers, kids, and the general public, every one of us will be given the knowledge and skills to take action … giving kids a chance … helping them in a more immediate and direct way without abandoning them to an inhumane and ineffective "system."

People feel bad when they hear about a child being abused … for the moment … and then they forget about it. Taking no action. They feel helpless and think they can’t do anything to help.
