National Call to Action! Please subscribe to our Action Alerts!
Crimes against children are at an epidemic in the U.S. because of two reasons, lack of education and lenient sentences. CWAV is dedicated to both. Our Action Alerts detail specific child abuse cases and advocates for maximum efforts and sentencing on behalf of law enforcement, judges and prosecutors.
Please support our efforts to end crimes against children by becoming a child advocate today! By subscribing to our Action Alerts, you will receive our 7-9 cases a month with District Attorney contact information. Simply copy and paste the sample email we provide, asking the prosecuting attorney to pursue maximum sentencing in each case. Not until we all rise up and say no more to lenient sentencing and ask for tougher sentencing, will this epidemic in America end.
Please be a voice for the children today. If you find it difficult to read child abuse cases, THEN DON’T! Simply skip the details and copy and paste the sample email we provide!
