Teen brings awareness to child abuse - New Mexico
"I want to dedicate my life to being an advocate for abused children and for spreading the word," Pastran said. Pastran knows first hand what it is like to be abused. She has been in the foster care system since 2007, but was recently adopted by her grandfather....She is asking for the public's help. She wants to gather baskets and place blue ribbons on them.

You can reach her at valeriempastran@gmail.com."
