In the aftermath of Samantha's abduction, l learned that there are over 58,000 non - <br />family abductions every year and I couldn't believe that there wasn't a national movement to <br />better protect children. Our three -pronged approach to the problem gives everyone an <br />opportunity to be a part of the solution through legislative advocacy, adult education, or child <br />empowerment programs. Together, we can create sustainable programs that raise awareness, <br />Foster vigilance, and empower children with knowledge and skills to be brave and safe. Ultimately <br />our goal is to bring safety empowerment education to every child in America. Thank you for your <br />help protecting children. Erin D.
