Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 829

SPECIAL TOPIC Night - "For Our Kids" - Deborah Maddison, Paula Ciardullo and Angela Borths will lead the discussion about the Rights of Children and Families in the first of a series of bi-weekly shows dealing with the subject. In British Columbia, Canada, Family Services are known as the Ministry of Child and Family Development or MCFD, (an oxymoron to say the least), governed by the Child, Family and Community Services Act. In the United States Child Protective Services (CPS) is often the agency involved. In general those working with Children and Families are referred to as Social Service workers (SS). There are a great deal of similarities in both the laws and the abuses throughout North America and the U.K., so much so that without knowing where they are from, solely from the story alone, it would be impossible to determine they're from different countries. There is much more that unites us all in these issues than divides us. Our strength comes in working together and supporting each other, and that's how we've been running so far .. fueled by emotional support. ~~ Every two weeks a new THEME will be presented in this series, with frequent special guests speaking from their own experience. ~~ Please see our web page at: www.NAASCA.org/ForOurKids or write to: naasca.forourkids@gmail.com
