| About Child Abuse
Child abuse has reached epidemic proportions
in the United States, Texas and Collin County. It is a crime against
the most vulnerable among us and too often goes unreported. It is
relentlessly democratic victimizing children from all socioeconomic
groups, religions, ethnicities, genders and age groups (the law
defines a child as under the age of 18 years). Prevent Child Abuse
America reports that each year the (direct and indirect) cost of
child abuse and neglect in the United States is in excess of $94billion.
