Pledge to Protect Children in Your Community

Sponsored by: American Humane Association

In years past, neighbors used to sit on their front porches and be more aware of what was going on in their neighborhood.

But even if we don't have front porches anymore, we should still make an effort to become involved in each other's lives and recognize the power of one person in making a significant difference in the life of a child.

American Humane Association's Front Porch Project® reflects this belief that everyone can and should become more aware of how to help protect children in their own community.

Using a capacity-building approach, the Front Porch Project helps participants examine and understand their role in the lives of children and families, as they acquire new skills and learn safe intervention methods to promote child safety and family well-being.  

You can take action in your own community. Pledge to protect children in your community!

Children are our future and to protect them along with the many animals of the wild, just makes sense. So why aren't we? I"m wondering about that.

Nowadays, children are left to their own device with not much adult supervision and guidance due to the fact that households need two incomes and even that is not enough!!! The cost of living in America has way surpassed average income levels!!! We all need to wake up and bring about compassion and family values starting with the government and big business! The porch approach is good, but there is much more to be done for families all across America!!!

I think it has gotten worst compared to when I was a teenager which has not been that long. I think that the neighborhoods needs to meet at least once a month to find out how they can change their community there will be no chage if the whole neighborhood do not get involved beause it does take a whole village to raise a child.
