Prevent Child Abuse America National Board Member Bryan Specht and Senior Director of Strategic Communications Ben Tanzer had the opportunity to both speak at the Leadership Institute on Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect in Charleston, West Virginia this week, as well as, speak to Dan Heyman from Public News Service - West Virginia about healthy child development and preventing child abuse and neglect.

"America spends $104 billion a year on child abuse and neglect cases, Specht says, adding that the nation could save that money by continuing to prevent many of these cases - and doing so would be beneficial in other ways as well. 'The science is really saying to us, 'This is the right thing to do, for the capacity of our children to learn, for our economy - the kind of society that we could live in, if we provided that healthy opportunity to every child.'"

Prevent Child Abuse America talks to the Boise, ID office of the Public News Service.

Prevent Child Abuse America's Senior Director of Strategic Communications Ben Tanzer who will speaking at the 2011 Strengthening Families Training Institute in Boise, Idaho on March 16th recently had the opportunity to talk to the Boise office of the Public News Service about healthy child development, building a prosperous Idaho, social movements and preventing child abuse and neglect.


"Create a movement for children and families, and a movement that not only enhances healthy child development; to really engage people in a dialogue on how we prevent child abuse and neglect before it ever starts."

Tanzer says preventing child abuse and neglect is in everyone's best interest because it is tied to the larger values Idahoans treasure.

"We want to live in a certain kind of Idaho that is prosperous, that is healthy. Here are the things we are going to do for children and families, because we know that when we don't prevent child abuse and neglect, all of those other things get undermined."
