Million March Against Child Abuse:
Walks to raise awareness and ask for tougher sentencing for violent crimes against children in the U.S.
Atlanta GA, January 11, 2013 � For the first time in American history on April 22, 2013, individuals
in over 150 cities and 45 states will join together in national walks to raise awareness of child abuse
and crimes against children in the U.S. Cities include Washington D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Boston,
Phoenix, Los Angeles, Charlotte, along with many others. We are asking all citizens to participate.
Million March Against Child Abuse (MACA) is a non-partisan, grass roots, nationwide effort to
raise awareness of the magnitude of child abuse, to educate the masses and ask our lawmakers for
tougher sentencing in violent crimes against our nation�s children.
The walk is spearheaded by Lin Seahorn, Founder of Children Without a Voice (CWAV) out of
Atlanta, Ga. (Pronounced C-WAVE). �Children are the world�s greatest natural resource and should
be protected more than anything else on earth�, stated Seahorn. �We have to break the silence
around the magnitude of crimes against our children right here in the U.S., educate the masses, hold
our lawmakers accountable for taking these crimes seriously and keeping violent offenders in prison
where they belong. We are asking everyone to join us in the streets on April 22nd.�

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
There are nearly 3 million REPORTED child abuse cases each year. However, experts believe the
actual number is closer to 9 million as most go unreported. At a recent congressional hearing,
experts testified they believe nearly 10 children die each day in the U.S. as a result of child abuse.
One out of 6 boys and 1 out of 4 girls will be sexually molested by a close and trusted person before
the age of 18.
