Just as families must support children, communities must support families, and government and business must support both. All children deserve safe homes, safe schools and safe communities. Our children's sense of hope and possibility requires equal access to appropriate resources. Children are prepared for the future when we teach them and they learn to honor and respect diversity. As children mature, we must seek their voices, engage them, and recognize the freedom they need to shape their destinies.
Children can learn from their mistakes.
They deserve systems that give them that opportunity. Each child is unique. Every child is entitled to respect. We must never give up on any child. All children are part of loving and safe families.
