The child was absolutely devastated. It took me a while to get her to open up and tell me what happened. I am hoping that she will start some counseling so that she can begin to heal.

We have children who need to be fed, and some are so neglected that they badly need showers.

Talk to your child, ask them questions, pay attention to changes in their behavior or types of friends they run around with. This can be a really important endeavor in keeping our children safe.

There is hope out here for victims of family violence, but I can help someone who doesn't call. I urge anyone who feels they are a victim of family violence to contact me, immediately.

Look for signs, be aware. Don't think because you know someone, they wouldn't abuse. Some of the ones you think are the nicest people in the world are child abusers.
