We need your help. In every state, we are failing to protect children in desperate circumstances.

The numbers are staggering. Official reports show that nearly five children in America die every day from abuse or neglect. The reality is that no one knows the exact number, because there are differing definitions of abuse and neglect in all the states and inconsistent record-keeping. Experts say the real number is likely much higher.

We need to urge Congress to make America’s children a political priority. Please join us today by writing to your Representatives, asking them to adopt new policies and commit new resources to safeguard vulnerable children all across the country. Please Take Action.

My personal note & signed petitions went to AZ. Rep. Trent Franks, and Senators Jon Kyl, & John McCain.

I can't think of a more important issue to be concerened about in our country. Way too many children are being kidnapped, abused, neglected, or worse! This petition will be circulated to my friends!

Thanks, Kelli - you are an angel for the children of the world!
