We Welcome Everyone, not just mothers!

 

Every 11 seconds, a child is sexually abused in the United States.¹

 

Every day, 12 children are murdered²

Child Abuse and Neglect costs the United States $65,753,424.70 every day, or $24 Billion annually. 

And, believe it or not, this is the conservative estimate.³

 

Every breathing adult who reads this can do something

or all of your money. 

It doesn't have to be depressingly overwhelming.

   SMAC'M was started in 2005 by a Single Mother who had seen too many children around her hurt, and murdered, by child molesters.  She was unable to keep the organization afloat financially, and was forced to return to her career.  However, she continues to keep this website up, detailing the programs she tried to start, in the hopes that other individuals and organizations may make them a reality.

The direct cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States totals more than $24 billion annually. (This figure includes law enforcement, judicial system, child welfare, and mental and physical health costs.) When factoring in indirect costs (special education, mental health and health care, juvenile delinquency, lost productivity, and adult criminality), the figure rises to more than $94 billion annually.
