For a Deeper Dive on this or other topics,
hit the DEEP DIVE button on the lower right corner of this page.
The following articles and videos about child abuse prevention and child protection display a profound need for more of us to become aware and involved in speaking for at-risk children. Change is needed and it won’t come until more of us give voice to voiceless children. Every time one more adult sees, shares, or speaks up about these stories, another child is less alone and a community becomes harder to ignore. Pick one of these podcasts, articles or videos that strikes you as important and send it to your State Rep or County Commissioner (find them here). It just takes a minute, and for some child, it may be the start of real change.
