We love to spread the word about how wrong the abuse of children is. Sometimes we create ‘in-your-face’ advertisements meant to evoke an emotional response. Good? Bad? Bottom line is that we care. We simply want to remind people to think before acting. Especially when it comes to flying off the handle and smacking a child around.

Here’s the latest. Tell us what you think.

As mentioned in an earlier post, we are holding the 6th Annual Gala for the Utah Valley Family Support and Treatment Center on the evening of May 5th. We would love to have your help. We are doing everything in our power to make a splash for good. Jared will be on television on the 9th of April and also on several programs over the next month promoting this event. We would love to list you and your company as a sponsor of this event. We will advertise your company on the Utah Valley Family Support and Treatment Center website as a sponsor and supporter, plus your donation will be tax deductible.

Does child abuse lead to drug abuse or disease? Sadly, when a child is abused, he or she is more likely to end up an abuser of drugs or alcohol if he or she has not properly dealt with the traumatic experience(s). There have been countless studies where it has been proven that many of the diseases now causing many of the illnesses can be traced back to times of child abuse, neglect, or other adverse childhood experience or traumatic event that occurred as a youth. In fact, a child who has been abused is FOUR times more likely to become a smoker, alcoholic or drug abuser.
