Home Advocacy Conference Abuse Facts ... Support Us Prevent Child Abuse Texas! Prevent Child Abuse Texas (PCATX) is a statewide non-profit organization working to prevent child abuse and neglect in all its forms throughout Texas.The work of the organization depends solely on private grants and contributions. We are led by a statewide Board of Directors who represent their regions through community agencies and organizations dealing with social issues affecting children. Prevention is the Cure! It is costly to you. Victims of abuse are more likely to require tax-supported medical, legal, penal, and social services. It is happening among people you know. Child abuse crosses all economic, cultural, ethnic, and geographic lines.Your public, tax supported child abuse system currently prioritizes intervention after abuse has already occurred. Many abusers are caught in the vicious cycle of abuse and really do not know any other way to raise children. The Starfish Flinger As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun.

Each of the 50 states has enacted laws defining child abuse and maltreatment, determining when outside intervention is required, and establishing administrative and judicial structures to deal with maltreatment when it is identified. According to data from the Administration on Children and Families, in 1998 there were an estimated 2,806,000 referrals of child abuse or neglect to relevant state or local agencies. These referrals resulted in an estimated 903,000 confirmed victims of maltreatment, a rate of 12.9 per 1,000 children nationwide. Of these, 11.5 percent suffered sexual abuse, 22.7 percent suffered physical abuse, and 53.5 percent suffered neglect. A quarter were victims of more than one type of maltreatment. Additionally, approximately 1,100 children died of abuse or neglect, a rate of 1.6 deaths per 100,000 children. Of all forms of abuse, about three quarters of the perpetrators were parents. In most cases an initial report of abuse or neglect can come from anyone. In 1998, a little over half of all reports (53.1%) came from professionals, including medical and mental health professionals, teachers, child care providers, social service providers, and law enforcement officials. The remainder (46.7%) came from nonprofessionals, including family members and other members of the community.

85. "Judicial Activism Ruined Our Public Schools." An expose of how fraudulent Supreme Court rulings have inflicted massive damage on our public education system. http://ttokarnak.home.att.net/Educ.html

Twenty-Million Ruined Educations In 1954, most black children were offered an inferior education in America's public schools, especially in the South. The kids learned to read and write and do arithmetic. They learned some history, geography, and respect for western values, and they learned to speak English. However, their education was not equal to the education offered most white children at the same time. White children, in the 1950's, got an excellent education in our big city schools. Now most children, black and white, are offered an inferior education in America's public schools. The education black children get in big cities is worse than inferior. It's pathetic. Failed urban public schools helped produce a black ghetto whose residents evolved their own language. Having failed to teach English, school bureaucrats in Oakland, California decided to teach the black kids what they already knew. In place of English, they proposed to teach "ebonics" [1]. A question comes to mind. What caused the quality of our big city schools to go from excellent to pathetic in a few decades? Various experts will give you a long list of reasons, but they'll never mention the main one. Public mention of that reason would end the career of an educator or a politician; so they all practice denial. Our urban public schools went from excellent to pathetic because of the actions of a lawless federal judiciary. THE HOSTAGE THEORY We discussed the Warren Court's landmark school desegregation rulings in a companion essay, Viking Jurisprudence, Part 2. And we learned that they were based on fraudulent constitutional interpretations. However, they served important values, and they now enjoy a high degree of public respect. So let's not beat a dead horse. But let's keep two things about

92. Recognizing Signs Of Child Abuse About 1 million children are abused every year in the United States. And theseare only the reported incidents many more are unreported and undetected, http://kidshealth.org/parent/positive/family/signs_child_abuse.html

KidsHealth Parents Positive Parenting Family Life Unthinkable as it is to imagine someone intentionally hurting a child, about 1 million children are abused every year in the United States. And these are only the reported incidents - many more are unreported and undetected, often because children are afraid to tell. When mistreatment becomes abuse, children are injured, neglected, and emotionally damaged. Approximately 1,000 to 1,300 U.S. children are known to die as a result of physical abuse, and those who survive suffer emotional trauma that lasts long after the bruises have healed. Some studies report that in the United States, as many as one out of every eight boys and one out of every four girls is sexually abused before turning 18 years old. In 90% of these cases, sexual abuse occurs in the home, particularly when younger children are involved. A child who knows the abuser (about 90% of cases involve an abuser who was previously known to the child) usually senses that the abuse is wrong, but he may feel trapped by the affection he feels for the person or fearful of the power the abuser has over him, so he doesn't tell. Whatever the statistics, one thing we know is that child abuse is too frequent and too often hidden. Emotional abuse can be just as damaging. The effects can last a lifetime, stripping a child of

98. A System Out Of Control: The Epidemic Of False Allegations Of Child Abuse By Armin A. Brott, regarding the large number and origins of these accusations. http://www.vix.com/men/falsereport/childabuse/brott94.html

Here's the piece, pretty much as it appears in the November [94] Penthouse. If anyone wants to reprint it, they need to contact me first. Armin A. Brott 2301 Curtis Street Berkeley, CA 94702 A System Out of Control: The Epidemic of False Allegations of Child Abuse Before 1973, child abuseparticularly sexual abusewas rarely reported to authorities and frequently covered up. But that year, then-Senator Mondale sponsored legislation that took a new approach. Federal matching funds became available to states that set up child abuse detection, prosecution, and prevention programs. The results were startling. From 1976 to 1993, the total yearly number of child abuse reports grew from 669,000 to over 2.9 million. During the same period, the annual number of reports of sexual abuse grew from just 21,000 to over 319,000. Undoubtedly, the increasing number of reports has saved thousands of children from harm. However, there have been some rather disturbing side-effects. In 1975, 35 percent of all child abuse reports were unsubstantiateda percentage that, although high, was perhaps understandable given the Mondale Act's emphasis on bringing even suspicions of abuse into the open. But by 1993, the percentage of unsubstantiated reports had reached 66%. And in divorce cases, many experts estimate that between 75 and 80 percent of allegations of child abuse are completely false. So what accounts for this alarming rise in false allegations? "There's a complex network of social workers, mental health professionals, and law enforcement officials that actually encourages charges of child abusewhether they're reasonable or not," says Dr. Richard A. Gardner, a clinical professor of child psychiatry at Columbia University. In effect, the Mondale Act, despite its good intentions, createdand continues to funda virtual child abuse industry, populated by people whose livelihoods depend on bringing more and more allegations into the system.

WHERE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON CHILD ABUSE WHAT IS CHILD ABUSE? The term "child abuse" refers to the violence, mistreatment or neglect that a child or adolescent may experience while in the care of someone they either trust or depend on, such as a parent, sibling, other relative, caregiver or guardian. Abuse may take place anywhere and may occur, for example, within the child's home or that of someone known to the child. There are many different forms of abuse and a child may be subjected to more than one form: Physical abuse may consist of just one incident or it may happen repeatedly. It involves deliberately using force against a child in such a way that the child is either injured or is at risk of being injured. Physical abuse includes beating, hitting, shaking, pushing, choking, biting, burning, kicking or assaulting a child with a weapon. It also includes holding a child under water, or any other dangerous or harmful use of force or restraint. Female genital mutilation is another form of physical abuse.
