65,948 Texas children were confirmed as abuse victims in 2011. In 2011, 231 children died from abuse and neglect in Texas.

Texas is home to approximately three million adult survivors of child abuse and neglect. Imagine the power of those voices mobilized to speak out for the thousands of Texas children who each year also suffer from abuse and neglect.

Survivors can’t reverse the abuse they suffered, but they can prevent the abuse of innocent others. Helping others is Healing.

To make a difference, action is necessary. And, as we also see in news reports, the most essential advocacy starts at the legislative level, with governmental funding and commitment to child abuse prevention.

TexProtects monitors relevant legislative developments in Austin, informs members on what’s happening, and provides instructions for quick and easy but effective advocacy action. TexProtects members advocate for better policies, reforms and appropriate increases in state and local funding.   more»»
