705.0. "ABUSED CHILDREN" by CGVAX2::RANDALL (margaret) Thu Feb 04 1988 08:23

    Can anyone out there advise me if there is an organization or
    group that deals with abused children.  My purpose is to become
    involved "as a volunteer".  My heart goes out to abused 
    children and anything I could do would also make my life
    sweeter.  If anyone knows of an agency or group that needs
    support, please let me know.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Margaret

705.2How 'bout PA?COMET::EVANSMThu Feb 04 1988 10:119
    Is There a Parent's Anonomous group in your area?  They often need
    volunteers for crisis management.  IE if a parent calls and is afraid
    She/he is at the end of his/her  rope, a volunteer goes out and
    works with that parent.  This can involve counseling and some
    babysitting of both parent and children.  I haven't been involved
    with them personally, but I understand that they do great preventitive
    work.

    Since we're on the topic of Abused Children, for anyone interested, Channel
    5 is doing a special this week on Incest during their news broadcast at 
    6:00.  I taped and watched it last night and it was very informative.  
    Tonight they will be talking about the legal implications of the problem.  
    At the end of the clip they gave the number of the Child Abuse Hotline.  
    Perhaps the hotline could give you the names of the local organizations.

705.7SPIDER::PAREWhat a long, strange trip its beenThu Feb 04 1988 15:144
    Children's Aid and Family Services is always looking for emergency
    foster parents who will take in a distressed child  with little
    notice.  Kids need all the help they can get.  Thanks for reachiing
    out to them.
705.9A Plea to ParentsUSAVAX::REDICKbody electricThu Feb 04 1988 15:5425
     I know sometimes I make you mad,
       and there are times that I act bad.
     But I'm still learning right from wrong;
       I'm growing and finding wehre I belong.

     Frusterating?  Yes, that I can be, 
       But your love and approval are important to me.
     I know it would be easy to simply blow your stack,
       But when things are said in anger, you can't take
       them back.

     Children believe what they are told.  We believe what
       you say.
     If you teel us we're worthless, we start feeling that 
       way.
     So when anger overwhelms you, please try to resist.
       Remember, words hit just as hard as a fist.

                                                    -Leslie W. Ortega
