3,000,000 cases of child abuse and neglect were reported in this country last year, and 2,000 children died as a result of that abuse. The others suffered in different ways. They endured emotional trauma. They were less likely to be ready for school. They were more likely to have behavior problems, become teen parents, juvenile delinquents, drug and alcohol abusers, and child abusers themselves.

We support families and help them avoid the terrible consequences of child abuse and neglect. We believe a community is better served by taking preventative action to promote healthy families than by reacting to a tragedy. Child abuse is everyone's problem. You can help, and it will only cost a moment.
