KIDS TOO

05/15/2026

Protecting children means caring for their mental health as much as their physical safety. This National Mental Health Awareness Month, we call on families, schools, and communities to work together.

In the U.S., millions of children face mental health challenges, but support systems can change outcomes. Build trust, encourage open dialogue, and create safe environments for every child.

Together, we can protect and empower young lives.

This week, KIDS TOO Board Director Dan Vosnos was featured on WBBM | CBS Chicago (Channel 2), serving as a voice for the Down syndrome community.

Libertyville High School has recently come under scrutiny following allegations involving a former teacher. A lawsuit filed in March outlines an alleged pattern of grooming of a 15-year-old student with Down syndrome.

This case brings renewed attention to failures in mandated reporting—and the urgent need for accountability when student safety is at risk.

This Earth Day, we remember that a safe environment is part of a safe childhood.

In the United States, each person produces about 4.9 pounds of waste daily, much of which ends up in places where children learn and play.

We can reduce this by making more responsible choices and keeping our surroundings clean. Schools should be spaces where children feel safe, not exposed to harm.

When children feel heard, they are more likely to speak up about uncomfortable or unsafe situations.

Open and honest communication helps reduce the risk of abuse and builds trust over time. Create daily moments where kids feel safe to share their thoughts and experiences.

Ask questions, stay present, and listen without interrupting. A simple conversation can be a powerful form of protection.
