Fight Crime Against Kids

Open to Public

Child abuse and neglect – the statistics are shocking.  An incident of child abuse is reported on average, every 10 seconds.  Everyday four children die as a result of child abuse.  In 2006 in Michigan 28,327 substantiated cases were reported.  As State Director, Kathy K. P. Pelleran directs the programs Zero to # Secondary Prevention Program and the Michigan After-School Partnership.  These programs come under a statewide non-profit organization led by more than 370 of Michigan's best-known police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors and survivors.  Their goal is to improve the quality of life so these victims won't turn to a life of crime.  Ms. Pelleran will discuss the development of these programs, how they were implemented and how successful they've been.  Facing the staggering statistics of child abuse, she offers hope!!
