- The United States has one of the worst records in how it protects its kids. We have 1500 children dying every year as a result of neglect or physical abuse.
- It doesn’t take numbers to make a difference, it just takes a willingness to make a difference
- Utilizing social media to reach out and seek help
- It’s not the guy in the overcoat standing outside the schoolyard. It’s the uncle, it’s the soccer coach, it’s the youth leader at church, and sometimes it’s the family itself
- Provide resources for therapy and resources for domestic shelters, it’s all about having resources with us as well as helping
- Protect your children from cyber predators online; check with their phones and computers
- Whether it’s law or not, you should consider yourself a mandatory reporter.

- If you notice attitude changes in your kids, check on them
- Spend more time with your kids rather than them spending more time with phones and computers, make time for them, and go for a walk, go for a bike ride, go for a car ride etc.
