Count backward from 10 to 1, one second at a time. Ten, nine, eight, go on, finish. Why? Just so you would feel the exact moment when another child across the United States suffers from abuse. Every 10 seconds in the United States a child abuse report is made, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
CBR YouthConnect is a nationally recognized center for hurt children from across the United States. With age ranges from 10 to 21, and 50 plus years of business, we have seen the most horrendous and repulsive forms of child abuse. . . . and it isn’t getting any better. No backyard, no neighborhood and no community are immune from child abuse. We recently admitted a youngster from a charming idyllic mountain community who pristine tranquility was shattered by recognition that one of their own, a 10 year old child, was forced to stand in a snow bank as punishment. A kind individual spotted the child and after considerable time notified the authorities. Prior to admission, the child had several toes amputated.
Today, this child is healthy and well. His healing journey has just begun in the caring and capable hands of the professional experts at CBR YouthConnect. His care and treatment, like so many others who have been hurt, is expensive. The economic struggles of the nation have devastated public funding for our most vulnerable persons – our children.

It takes the kindness of a stranger, who has seen enough, to reach deep into their pockets and support our children. It takes you. Become the “U” in YouthConnect. Please help CBR YouthConnect. Visit our web-site at cbryouthconnect.org.
