It takes a village to raise a child
- African Proverb

There are monsters preying on our children. Not all of them are strangers, in fact, many of them have sat at your kitchen table.

We are failing our children.

Every child that you encounter is your responsibility. That is what it means to be part of the village. Children are being raped, slaughtered, assaulted, abused and neglected. Where is their village?

If you neglect to report abuse or if you fail to protect or aid an abused child, you are just as guilty as the one who committed the act of violence. 

Stand up, speak out and take action!

If you suspect, or are aware of child abuse, REPORT it to your nearest police station and local social services office.

Join our petition to call for NO BAIL for child predators.
