Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN)

The host of Monday to Friday's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) and Sunday's "Community Matters" This Week, the nationally respected public safety advocate Bill Murray, has a special mission: to address issues of child abuse. But his concerns and activism goes much deeper than that. Mr. Murray is best know as the founder of LA Community Policing, his reaction to the events of 9-11. For the past 11 years he's published its web site, at LACP.org, which encourages residents to engage in public safety, homeland security and in helping their neighbors reduce crime, the fear of crime and improve the quality of life. Originally a regional non profit effort, LA Community Policing's web site has grow to nearly 5000 pages, and long ago was identified by the US Dept of Justice as the world's largest grassroots non profit effort devoted to community-based policing. On January 1, 2011, the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse was launched (NAASCA.org), based on Bill's personal life experienced. "Very few adults have escaped many years of severe child abuse, trafficking, and kidnapping. But I have, and I've been in recovery from its devastating effects for nearly 30 years. Now that my parents are both gone I've decided to devote my remaining time, money and available energy to this vitally important cause." On Sundays join Bill, co-host MJ Goyings, ER RN, and NAASCA's own "Dr Jay" Tow, Certified Sex Therapist, on "Community Matters" This Week as they discuss the most recent events and news from the worlds of both public safety and child abuse. Monday to Friday the "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) show features frequent visits from special guests and episodes dedicated to important cultural and child abuse issues. All shows include LIVE chat rooms .. and call-in participation is always welcome!
