MACA is a non-partisan, grass roots, nationwide effort, to UNITE ALL Child Advocates together in solidarity for peaceful demonstrations against crimes against children in the U.S. We seek to raise awareness of and ask for tougher sentencing for violent crimes against children in this country! are staggering, sobering
and should compel EVERY adult, parent, father, uncle, son, grandfather and all m
others, aunts, daughters, grandmothers and women to be moved to do som...ething NOW. At a recent Washington Congressional hearing in June, 2011, experts believe nearly 10 children die each day from abuse. NCANDS, the national database for crimes against children, didn't receive data from 3 states in their latest report! States are NOT mandated to report child fatalities as a result of CAN or any type of abuse whether fatal or not! We are NOT seeking to create more bureaucracy, but rather, demanding our lawmakers begin to protect our children through stiffer sentencing for child abuse, including mandatory life without parole for violent crimes such as child r**e and murder. Unlike many diseases, child abuse is a willful act and 100% preventable through TOUGHER law enforcement and education. We MUST let our nation and lawmakers know that Americans will NO LONGER tolerate inadequate laws and light sentencing. Now is the time and we need YOUR HELP on April 22, 2013. According to studies, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually molested by
the age of 18, by a close trusted adult OR older peer.
2. Nearly 3 million child abuse cases are reported each year but experts believe
an estimated 6 million go UNREPORTED.
3. Those who commit crimes against children typically get 25% of the
sentencing they would have received had they committed the same
crime against an adult.
4. The 3rd leading cause of death among kids 10-24 is su***de!
5. Americans donate over 100 million dollars EACH YEAR to save abused animals and less than $5 milllion to help organizations who are working tirelessly to help save America's kids.
