About

Protect Mass Children is a grass-roots organization working to protect children from sex offenders through education and legislation. Many of us are survivors or victims of abuse and know firsthand the devastating affects sexual abuse has on victims and their families. We are mainly all volunteer, working to make a difference for our children.

Protect Mass Children is a federally recognized 501(C)4 nonprofit organization.

Mission:

Our mission is to pass stronger laws to protect children from sexual predators and to educate the community on how to defend themselves from sexual predators. To end childhood sexual abuse in Massachusetts. To be a voice for the victims.

Goals:

1) Passing legislation requiring stronger mandatory sentences for child predators.

2) Creating and distributing public awareness material and information.

3) Developing and using skills-based curricula to teach children to recognize and resist child abuse.

4) Promote services and support for victims their families.

Our Political Approach:

NON-PARTISAN

Protect Mass Children is a nonpartisan organization. Children are not Democrats or Republicans. We support elected officials and policy makers who make child protection a top priority, and are generous in providing victims services and support. Children come before anyone’s political affiliation. 

Agenda:

• Work for stronger laws to protect our children.   Protect Mass Children has authored three bills in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and co-authored another in the Senate. These bills call for strong mandatory sentences for sexual predators and life sentences for repeat offenders. We have the support of over 32 State Representatives and Senators from both sides of the aisle. Sheriffs, Law Enforcement and many businesses and local leaders in the community have also endorsed our efforts.

• Promote education and awareness: Protect Mass Children works with schools, groups and organizations across Massachusetts promoting safety and awareness. We believe the more educated and informed the community is, the safer everyone will be. In many cases we can prevent child sexual abuse through education and awareness programs.
