Child abuse prevention costs only a fraction of the millions of dollars currently needed to respond after a child has been abused.

Santa Clara County receives well over 20,000 reports of child abuse every year.

Child abuse occurs in every age group, every race, every religion and every economic group. No community is untouched.
