I am honored to join CWAV in helping children against this pandemic of child abuse. I know my role is small, but I do feel I joined a non-profit that is 120% dedicated to the well fare of children as well as their future. Everybody I have met in this organization is committed to educating, preventing and helping children and I am proud to be considered a member.

Children Without a Voice USA was founded by and is run by a remarkable woman who over came severe abuse and now totally dedicates her life to helping prevent kids from being the victim of all kinds of chid abuse, including bullying. I have never met anyone more passionate about a cause, or who works harder or more hours. I have provided extensive financial and other support to the national anti-bullying program that was started and run by CWAV- called the A4K Club, or Ambassador for Kids Club. This is an amazing program that is designed to help kids prevent, stop and report bullying and child abuse, and it has resources on the web, as well as a program that is taught in schools. You will not find a better program to support, that can really make a difference in kid's lives. For more information on it, visit a4kclub.org.

I am proud to volunteer my time with an organization that is truly making a difference. I have focused my time on helping spread awareness via social media. Founder Lin Seahorn and the rest of the team are one big family and are truly one of a kind. The future is bright for our children with people like this fighting for those precious little ones. We must all stand up and help educate to save the children of our future. Thank you to all of CWAV for all that you are doing and I'm very proud to be a part of this.

Children Without a Voice USA not only raises awareness about crimes against children, child abuse and neglect, but it takes an active approach in preventing these crimes as well. Our prevention efforts take the form of free educational brochures on a broad array of topics that are available online and in print for distribution to organizations all over the country. We also teach classes on Good Touch/Bad Touch, SBS Prevention and Bullying. Prevention is always a hard thing to pin down. How can you keep statistics on how many crimes your efforts have prevented? It's always easier to tally your wins and losses after the fact, but this organization strives to do all it can to prevent these horrific crimes from happening in the first place. We educate parents on how to deal with the emotions that can trigger abuse. We educate children to be protective of their bodies and advocates for their own safety. We educate students on current destructive behaviors such as bullying, sexting, dating violence and substance abuse. Children Without a Voice USA is truly on the front lines of the war on children working tirelessly to protect these precious lives.
The Great!

I am already involved in the decision-making process for this organization.
My Role: Board Member & I recently headed up a fundraising effort at Brookwood Grill in Roswell GA which far surpassed our expectations. I secured raffle prize donations, Silent Auction Items along with four volunteers...and the restaurant donated a percentage of food sales! .

I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve as a volunteer, in a Community Outreach position, and have gotten to know the dedication of Lin Seahorn, Founder and Executive Director who started Children Without A Voice USA four years ago. She is a shining example of "Triumph over Tragedy," documented in the April 2011 issue of Points North Magazine. Her energy and dedication to educating the public and raising awareness of child abuse has touched me deeply and I am honored to give of my time and talents in a fundraising role for CWAV USA. I would encourage everyone with children in their lives to help secure funds to keep Lin's dream alive and growing!
The Great!

Children Without A Voice USA is a blessing for all children. This organization serves as the voice for so many children who want to be heard, just to scared to speak up. As a dentist, I began seeing this unfortunate event on a daily basis, and turned to CWAV for guidance. As a dentist in Kentucky, where the prevalence of oral neglect is high, I felt lost in the fight to protect these children. CWAV gave me the knowledge to become a child advocate and be there for these children, becoming more than just their dentist. Lin Seahorn, the founder, has devoted all her energy to increasing awareness of crimes against children, and needs to be recognized as one amazing woman. This organization is solely made up of volunteers all fighting the same cause, to protect our children. CWAV offers parenting classes, shaken baby syndrome prevention seminars, free educational brochures, and bullying programs in schools to name only a few services. Also, action alerts are sent out weekly to lawmakers and law enforcement, asking for tougher sentencing in child abuse cases. The more volunteers to join this great cause will enable more children to be heard, and more precious lives saved!

Having taught elementary education for many years, I encountered a number of students who had been abused physically, emotionally, and through neglect. Since retiring, I wanted to do something to help children who cannot help themselves.
CWAV-USA is an organization that reaches out to educate people from every walk of life about child abuse in the US. Because of their focus on education, I have learned about Shaken Baby Syndrome. I am appalled that such crimes on innocent babies is not pursued more vigorously by our legal system.
It is due to the passion for protecting children by CWAV-USA that I have become involved as a volunteer. It is an organization that deserves support.
The Great!

As An Abused Child Myself I Have Joined Up For Justice So This Will Not Happen To Another Child. Also When I First Joined This Group I Sidned Up For The Action Reports On Cases For Children Rights And Prosecutions And Justice. I Am One Of The Voices. I Serve Proudly Even Know Not All Cases End In Sucess. As Long As There Is A Voice Even A Small One This Group Goes Over And Above Expectations To Assist For The Children. I Am Currently Learning More And Will Do More For This Much Needed Group As An Educator And A Continued Advocate For The Children. I Also Serve Proudly In Other Organizations With Same Field As : Parents Against Child Abuse , Code Amber (Amber Alert) Alabama , Amc Missing Child Alerts And Red Circle Alerts (Native American Children) As Long As There Are Needs For Justice For The Children I Will Assist As Long As I Draw My Last Breath. Our Children Are Our Future And We Need To Protect Them At All Costs. Sincerely Bruce Thompson (Parent , Grand Parent Child Advocate And Ex-Law Enforcement)
