Child Abuse & Neglect

Horrific stories of child abuse and neglect have plagued our nation for decades. These range from stories of children being drowned in automobiles by their mother to children being found dead in dirty basements at the hand of a caretaker.

The Baby Fund is on a crusade to protect innocent babies from this type of senseless abuse and neglect: by raising funds to sponsor programs to educate parents on proper childcare and by serving as a resource for parents who lack the basic skills and necessities needed to properly and safely care for a child.
