Sharing Web Resources

I chose two resources. Both tie to Child Abuse.
"The CACCC helps abused children feel


less scared

less intimidated

and less confused


by the system that is meant to protect them.?"

Food for thought:
"1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18.
Only 1 in 10 will tell.
Over 40,000 of those children tell what happened to them at
advocacy centers every year in Texas.
247 of those children live in Comal County, Texas."

Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding resources

For part one of this assignment I emailed about 25 different people and have not heard back from anyone. I did email several more on Friday, so I am hoping that come Monday maybe one will respond. I was however to get in contact with one person from MedellĂ­n, Antioquia. I have a coworker from Columbia and she put me in contact with him. Who would have thought this was going to be such a difficult task? As for part 2, I have chosen two. The Children's Defense Fund and the Comal County Child Advocacy Center. I chose both of these resources because I was an abused child and no one spoke up for me, so i am here to ive a voice to the children with no voices.
