Following are some of our current programs.

CHILD ABUSE ANONYMOUS:
Child Abuse Anonymous (CAA) is a non-profit fellowship of
men, women and children for whom their experiences with child
abuse has become a major problem and has overpowered their
lives. Membership is open to anyone, regardless of their of
degree or experience with child abuse. There are no social,
religious, economic, racial, ethnic, national, gender, or
class-status membership restrictions. CAA membership is completly
voluntary; no membership rolls or attendence records are kept.
Members live in the community and attend meetings on their
own time. There are no dues or fees for |
membership. Members can contribute, but contributions
are no mandatory. To find out more about CAA, click

TOLL-FREE 3 DIGIT PHONE NUMBER:
Currently, there is a 24-hour emergency hotline in place with
counselors ready to assist but not many people, especially children,
know this number. Additionally, the hotline costs approximatly one
million dollars a year to operate.
KIDZ 2000 And Beyond wants to sponsor
a toll-free 3 digit number that will "roll over" to the
hotline, using this existing service to the fullest. The proposed
toll-free global number will be easy
for children to remember, and media campaigns throughout the schools
and establishments that children attend will help spread the word.
Following in the footsteps of 9-1-1 |
|
 |
| this number will give the public, especially the young,
emergency assistance and guidence with all maltreatment circumstances.

SEMINARS AND LECTURES:
As part of our awareness campaign, KIDZ 2000
And Beyond will attend schools in every city in the US to
educate the children as to what is considered as child abuse and
neglect and the steps they are able to take to get help. We need
to encourage regular school counseling sessions for the children
where child abuse awareness is provided so that there is a constant
link |
between the family and the school so that abuse and
neglect can be detected as early as possible. In which case, the
whole family will be able to receive the help they need. The schools
need to be aware of the child's home life and vice versa.
Organizing seminars, lectures, and guest speakers will provide the
general public and those working in child related fields an opportunity
to learn about child abuse issues in their community and nation
wide. They can discover new ways to become involved and address
any questions they may have. |
