Shelley, now that my book is published I finally have time get involved with ACES Too High. And, so enjoy reading your posts, of course. Could not agree more with your point that society's focus on true prevention runs a distant second to remediation after the fact of childhood betrayal. Organizations like the Annie B. Casey Foundation tout that their focus is child abuse prevention. However, what that means is that the child has already been abused, so we will swoop in as rescuing angels to "save" that child whose innocence has already been shattered. True PREVENTION means the child never suffers at all.
The mission of the America's Angel Campaign accepts nothing less ~ To establish the well-being of America's children as our nation's highest priority, ensuring their birthright to be safe and nurtured in their own homes and homeland.
This message needs to infiltrate the media and create critical mass that embraces the only moral choice, TRUE prevention.
