Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1329

SPECIAL TOPIC Night - "For Our Kids" - Eugenea (Gina) Coutour, Canadian activist from British Columbia, will join Bill Murray to lead this evening's discussion about the Rights of Children and Families in North America. ~~ TONIGHT'S TOPIC: "Q&A Call-in Night - you pick the topics for discussion." ~~ The many issues we've touched on in past episodes will give you an idea of the broad scope of our concerns. Should children be forced into foster care when parents are in a low income bracket or poor? Why are parents with disabilities or illness considered to be a higher risk of losing their kids to foster care? Should more help be available to biological parents before children are removed such as parenting classes, drug rehab, more educational and financial support? The age limit is raised in many states and provinces but is that enough? What kind of extended help should be available?  The questions and topics for tonight's show can come from any of the issues that surround the rights of children and families in North America. ~~ 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
