Please
help us fight child abuse &
neglect!
"When you
abuse nor neglect your child you are destroying God's master
piece and undermining the genius within. So do not hit them,
scream at them or curse at them, just give them a hug and love
them. Love is the only discipline. It never fails or hurt, it
always produce the best in
us."
Mission of
The Baby Fund
The Baby Fund is a response to the
rising tide of abuse, neglect, and death among infants
and young children in our society. The Fund will be both
a source of assistance and advocacy to meet the needs of
children who have little or no voices of their own. The
universal Church has a moral obligation to protect
children. The philosophical and theological
underpinnings of the Fund can be understood by all faith
communities, noting the supreme value place upon
children in scripture when God said, “Suffer the little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for such
is the kingdom of God.”

In Sex Crimes and the Vatican O’Gorman explores four separate cases internationally of widespread clerical abuse, putting the Roman Catholic Church on trial for the reckless endangerment of children. O’Gorman raises the question, ’Is the Church in default of its obligation as a signatory to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child?’

DC "City Paper" Details How District Children
Die Every year between 130 and
160 children and youth die in the District. We didn’t know
them in life—how they were born premature, how they had a beef
with a kid in the neighborhood that escalated, how they fell
through the cracks on the city’s watch.
