Why We Need Bullying and Child Abuse Prevention…Still

• A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds.^*

• Nearly five children die everyday as a result of child abuse.^*

• One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.^**

• 160,000 children are afraid to go to school each day for fear of being bullied.

• Every 7 minutes a child is bullied on a playground

• Florida is the 3rd highest ranked state in the U.S. for human trafficking.

We’ve been hearing these same statistics for years, yet they remain unchanged!  Knowing there is a problem is one thing, yet actually preventing it is another.  Awareness of the problem has never been higher but the problem remains. Why?  Because without action, there is no prevention.

Awareness + Action = Prevention
