At Childkind, approximately half of the children with special needs that are placed in our foster care program have been abused or neglected. Here are 10 ways you can help prevent child abuse:

1. Never discipline your child when your anger is out of control.
2. Participate in your child’s activities and get to know your child’s friends.
3. Never leave your child unattended, especially in the car.
4. Ask questions; for example, when your child tells you he or she doesn’t want to be with someone, this could be a red flag.
5. Listen to them and believe what they say.
6. Be aware of changes in your child’s behavior or attitude and inquire into it.
7. Teach your child what to do if you and your child become separated while away from home.
8. Be alert for any talk that reveals premature sexual understanding.
9. Pay attention when someone shows greater than normal interest in your child.
10. Make certain your child’s school or day care center will release him/her only to you or someone you officially designate.

If you suspect child abuse, call 1-800-4-A-CHILD

Childkind is participating in the “Technology Jumpstart your Nonprofit” contest for a chance to win an office technology makeover from Milner, Inc. The winning organization will receive new office and network equipment at a value of $15,000 to $20,000!

This makeover would allow us to be more efficient in providing services for those who need it most. And, typically, money raised tends to support our mission, rather than offset business technology costs.

 How can you help? Click and vote once a day until Jan. 30th!

The organization with the most votes will be selected as a top ten finalist. The more votes, the better chance we have to win.
