The Problem
 Child abuse and neglect are inexcusable actions that regrettably
continue to exist within our society. In 2005 there were over 3
million reports of maltreatment, being either abuse or neglect, of
an estimated 6 million children; and of these children, an estimated
1,460 died. More than 40% of child fatalities could in fact be
attributed to neglect. To learn more about this heartbreaking trend

The Plan
• To initiate action needed to create awareness to the magnitude
of this epidemic; and to enlighten our society to the countless
layers of abuse that ripple through our culture at many levels.
• To provide essential resources to young parents that will help
educate them so they understand the importance of effective,
non-violent child rearing.
• To bring together existing organizations working toward the
same goal, making them readily accessible to the general public.
