Our goal is to stop abuse before it starts and break the cycle of abuse. We want to assist new parents so they don't become part of the system.

We are opening it up to the community at large because child abuse has no ZIP code.

A lot of new parents in Las Vegas don't have family to operate as a support system. Being a parent is tough, and we hope to provide someone to reach out to.

We plan to start with one program, Bridges for Newborns, and develop others as we go. We're depending on the generosity of the community for initial support.

To those who abuse: the sin is yours, the crime is yours, and the shame is yours. To those who protect the perpetrators: blaming the victims only masks the evil within, making you as guilty as those who abuse. Stand up for the innocent or go down with the rest.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
