Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. It's a widespread war against our children that we have the power to stop, and understanding the issue is the first step. Just how bad is the issue of child abuse in the United States?

Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies involving more than 6.6 million children (a referral can include multiple children). The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.

Safe Families is dedicated to prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring in the United States. Join Safe Families mission of caring for vulnerable children in your community: http://safe-families.org/involvement

This is an amazing way to give and be a part of safe families even if you're not able to host children!

Safe Families for Children is a volunteer-driven movement that relies upon host families, and a network of support, to open their arms, their hearts, and their homes to host vulnerable children. You can participate in the Safe Families movement by donating today! https://safe-families.org/involvement/donate-now/

“After 4 months of staying with our family and new baby brother coming on the scene, James was able to reunite with his mom and new baby brother. And that’s been close to 5 years and we have continued to maintain a relationship with them. We take both boys now just a couple of times a year to give mom a break. She’s a single mom and working really hard at going from being on the streets to renting just a single bedroom for her and her three boys to now being a proud owner of a small little trailer.” - The Mcaveneys Family, Calvary Santa Ana, Part 2/4
