Many people make horrible choices and end up having unmanageable lives.
Some become addicted to drugs or alcohol and neglect their children. Others get arrested for child abuse. According to national statistics, more than three children die every day as a result of abuse and neglect.

The retired teacher has been a volunteer with Child Advocates for eight years.
