Few politicians speak to the children’s issues. Fewer still understand or advocate for programs that would help the 3 million children reported to child protection services each year.

Children have no voice, no lobby, and no vote to impact the policies that impact their lives.

It is up to those of us that know the issues and understand the needs, to advocate for those who cannot.

If we don’t speak up for them, who will?
