CAPTFCT is here to meet and try to improve the physical and emotional needs of abused  and / for neglected children by focusing in those areas and stressing prevention and raising awareness to these problems. CAPTF  will go about this engaging in the following activities: big brother / big sister types of association with children; community meetings with parents; and social activities with parents and children. 

Each day more than five children die as a result of abuse or neglect. On average, a child abuse report is made every 10 seconds for a total of approximately 3.3 million child abuse reports annually. CAPTF  has developed the following child abuse prevention guidelines to help keep your child, or a child you care for, from becoming a statistic.

• Never discipline your child when your anger is out of control.
• Participate in your child’s activities and get to know your child’s friends.
• Never leave your child unattended, especially in the car.
• Teach your child to use their voice to allow them to prevent abuse in their own life.
• Ask questions; for example, when your child tells you he or she doesn’t want to be with someone, this could be a red flag.
• Listen to them and believe what they say.
• Be aware of changes in your child’s behavior or attitude and inquire into it.
• Teach your child what to do if you and your child become separated while away from home.
• Teach your child the correct names of his/her private body parts.
• Be alert for any talk that reveals premature sexual understanding.
• Pay attention when someone shows greater than normal interest in your child.
• Make certain your child’s school or day care center will release him/her only to you or someone you officially designate.
