“Abuse is a crime of isolation. Children are alone at home isolated and not being able to be seen by anybody else that might be able to recognize concerns.”
– Dr. Jamye Coffman, Cook Children’s Center for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect
Schools across the country are closed. Children are sheltering in place – sometimes dangerous places.
Calls to child abuse hotlines are plummeting because trusted adults – typically teachers, mentors, counselor and coaches – are unable to see children face-to-face. Interactions are now virtual.
Your gift today will protect a child from abuse by equipping her teacher with the tools she needs to recognize abuse through a webcam.
Yes, I want to leverage my gift and protect a child during this global crisis.
