About CWAVusa
Children Without A Voice USA, Inc. is a non-profit corporation whose 501(c)(3) approval is pending.
This
website and Children Without A Voice USA was created in an attempt to
enlist more people in the fight against child abuse in the United
States. There are 3 million REPORTED child abuse cases each year.
Experts believe the actual number is closer to 9 million as most go
unreported.
If we can touch you deeply enough to where you become motivated to act we may, in fact, save a child’s life.
Please get
involved today by contacting your local prosecutors, telling them that
you want maximum sentencing in child abuse cases. Please contact your
state lawmakers asking them to change laws and stiffen penalties for
crimes against children.
