Why should you care about preventing child abuse?

Because every day we shape children's lives in ways we might not even notice - the bus driver, the parent, the grandparent, the crossing guard, the neighbor...even you. We all play a role in raising children, all children, and we all have the opportunity to shape and encourage healthy child development.

Watch our new video and see what we mean.

Prevent Child Abuse America builds on the activities that we as people do every day for children. We believe that prevention is doing what we can today to ensure that our children live in a society that is loving, stimulating and supportive. Child development is a foundation for community and economic development - the building blocks of society. By helping create a solid foundation we are building a better community for us and for our children.
