"My trauma had been compounded by untrained statutory and charitable agencies. At my lowest point, two untrained, unregulated advocates interfered via social media, paralysing the joint constabulary open investigation." This survivor's account underscores the critical need to reshape our collective response for victims and survivors.

As a trial attorney, you learn to recite facts in a compelling manner. In doing so, you learn that truth is often stranger than fiction. So let me tell you a story... I left my decade-long career as a prosecutor to join The National Child Protection Task Force full-time in 2021. I had no apprehension. It was a leap of faith in a dedicated group of individuals who were focused on saving #justonemore child from exploitation. However, I had one regret: not being able to directly support my community the way I did as an ADA. I missed that direct impact I was able to give survivors and their families. Then I received an email earlier this year from an officer we trained in New York. That officer was thanking us. He told us about a young girl who went missing - presumably a runaway - in his jurisdiction. However, based on our training he knew something didn't add up. Utilizing techniques NCPTF taught him, they located the girl with a man twice her age who had groomed her via a video game platform. Between our training and their ceaseless work, they were able to recover the girl in 24 hours even though the defendant took her out of state. The defendant brought her to my home county in Pennsylvania. He's being prosecuted by my former office. NCPTF strives to serve all law enforcement and strengthen their ability to recover missing and exploited children. The more we are able to train officers, to assist them in their times of need, the wider the our impact. It's the butterfly effect in action. Therefore, I ask you to consider donating to us today, #givingtuesday, because there is a good chance you can help save a vulnerable child in your own backyard.

Imagine what it's like growing up in a world where violence is a daily reality. For many people living in prison, the trauma of their childhood follows them into adulthood, haunting them even within the confines of prison walls. This is their reality—a cycle of pain and suffering that seems unbreakable. By sharing the perspectives of those with lived experience, we aim to shed light on the invisible struggles that many face daily. Understanding their pain is the first step towards creating meaningful change. Let's bring awareness to the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma and advocate for compassionate interventions. These are not just statistics; these are real people with real stories. Their voices matter, and together, we can help transform their pain into hope.
