Case Statement
The Need in the Quad Cities
Last year, right
here in the Quad Cities, there were over 1,500 confirmed cases of
child abuse.
Research shows that child victims of abuse and neglect grow up having
trouble in school, are more likely to suffer from substance and
alcohol abuse, and may suffer from depression and low self-esteem.
These victims are more likely to become involved with the criminal
justice system, and are several times more likely to continue the
cycle of abuse by abusing their own children.
Today’s children are our future parents, workers, teachers
and community leaders. They need healthy family relationships in
order to develop and grow into productive, contributing adults.
The Child Abuse Council has been working to protect children by
building stronger family relationships for almost 30 years. Your
gift can help ensure another 30 years of help to families in need
… right here at home in the Quad Cities.
