"End the Violence of Child Abuse
Be The Voice"
My name is LaVonda Kelley-Evans. I am a 31 year old, married mother of four. One daughter and three sons. I have been married for nearly 10 years to the most wonderful husband on the face of the earth. In December of 2010, I graduated Black River Technical College with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Criminal Justice. I was the recipient of the Departmental Award in Criminal Justice and I was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, which is the only nationally recognized Honor Society among two-year colleges. I'm am still in college, working towards my Bachelors in Criminology and a minor in Psychology. I currently have a 4.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and I love filling my brain with knowledge.
My fight is going to be a hard one. Why? Because all too often, we hear about something tragic happening in another town, in another city or even another state or country. But we aren't guaranteed it will not happen in our own backyard. I'm talking about Child Abuse. That one taboo subject that has been silent for decades. The one issue I want to bring to every one's eyes and ears... and it will be the one subject that causes people to go blind and deaf.
The subject is scary, frightening, and disgusting. The images are real. The scars, the battered souls, the broken spirits, all worn out and hanging on by a thread. Some too weak to fight were called to Heaven before they had even lived.
This blog is not an easy one, but I will not remain silent. I hope you can't either. The attention that we give to the major leagues, to television and Hollywood, to cars and i-pads and social networking sites -- this one can save a life. Can the others?
I don't want money. I don't expect feedback. I just want you to open your eyes. Listen. Watch. Report. Take control of a situation that for years now has gotten out of control. Do not let another life be placed in peril because you choose to look the other way. I beg you... Be a voice for a child that can't speak. Be a guardian angel for those who need one.
The next few posts will be some basic information before I begin sharing stores from our Face book page. I want you to know that I do not take these cases lightly, however, I do not have time to research each and every piece of information for complete validity. Should you have concerns or questions about any post, feel free to contact the included web link on that particular post, which will take you to the original web page the information was found on.
This blog is not intended to harm any person/family, but to share their stories of heartbreak and tragedy and to end the silence. I hope you will join me in strengthening our voices so we can together Be The Voice!
Be sure to book mark these two pages for easy returns and be sure to forward to all your friends. If you can be a voice for a child, why can't they?
Warmest,
LaVonda
