Hi Subscriber,
Each year, almost 1 million American children experience abuse and neglect. Approximately 1400 of those children are killed each year from abuse, most of whom are under the age of one.
And while millions of dollars are spent on police, lawyers, medical care and more for abuse cases, we still do not have adequate funding for the prevention of child abuse.
Sign the petition today to tell Congress to support increased funding for the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA).
CAPTA was passed in 1974 because of increasing public awareness of the need to ensure the safety and welfare of children. CAPTA provides federal money to state and local communities like yours for programs and services to prevent abuse, protect children and strengthen families.
Please help ensure that child abuse services do not get cut as well. Sign the petition today!
Thank you for helping protect children.
Sincerely, Emily

We need to prevent child abuse, not just provide help when it happens to a girl in polka dots Take Action! All forms of abuse can have a lifelong psychological and physical impact on a child. We can help by funding prevention programs now! Forward to a friend

The Real Story
Emily my friend boy are you barking up the wrong tree with this cry for help. You are talking to someone who deals with the aftermath of these CPS workers, a direct result the original CAPTA Funding you are speaking of, resulting in the creation of Child Protective Services in 1974. These are the same people who FALSELY accuse parents of CHILD abuse on a daily basis. They are literally destroying millions of American families each year under the disguise of Child Protective Services.
Some of the cases I have seen come across my desk in the last few YEARS are JUST IN CASE YOU WERE NOT AWARE OF THESE THINGS BEING CHILD ABUSE;
- feeding her five children McDonald's three times in one week,
- A baby falling asleep in his high chair.
- A foster mother cutting a ethnic child's hair without the social workers permission.
- Tossing a tippy cup to a child and accidentally hitting the child with it.
- telling a 14 year old girl she could not meet her 19 year old boy friend at 11pm on a school night.
- sending a 13 yr. old teen to her room and forbidding her to use the telephone for cussing out her parent.
- 7.A parent forbidding a teenager to go to a dance for violating her curfew the night before.
Did you know that all these things are now child abuse?
Reason for a parent to loose their children to Child Protective Services, you may even be next. Do you have children Emily? CPS may come to your door and simply take your children away for one of the above offenses. I can assure you, Emily of the following facts.
It is no longer about Child Abuse~~ it is now about CPS's new agenda, it is about the latest commodity in America, her future, her children are now a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR money making commodity to CPS.
It is no longer about the best interests of the children~~~it is about the dollars to be made off of them. I hate to burst your bubble. I challenge you to learn more about this entity before you promote their EVIL agenda.
I would be happy to be your instructor free of charge.
