Design and support legislation that will protect children. Provides a national resource referral network to help victims and families experiencing this tragedy. Child sexual abuse is the most pervasive and hidden problem in America today.
Society is slow to believe that supposedly nice, respectable adults molest children.
One of the reasons for this is lack of evidence, and the other is the reluctance of families to participate. The fact is that child abuse affects each and every one of us. Many of these victims are on social programs, and are not able to function in our society. As tax-payers, we are in fact paying the bill. Crime, violence, and health-care costs will be greatly reduced if we can stop this vile abuse against innocent victims.
