My name is Laura . My Husband and I are the parents of an abused child and have been foster parents to another child who has been abused. I am a "survivor" of domestic violence. Because of this, I have decided to devote my life to promote victim advocacy and to be the voice of abused children and those who cannot help themselves. I am currently finishing my degree in Community Mental Health with a specialty in chemical and drug dependency. I also volunteer my time promoting drug and alcohol awareness and for MADD. The reason why we started Parents Against Child Abuse (P.A.C.A.) is because we realize the devastation that abuse brings to the home. We found out the hard way from letter writing, phone calls, and developing contacts as a means of support for our daughter and ourselves. Please take time to review some links that I have found to be beneficial. We would also like to invite you into the Victim Advocacy-P.A.C.A. chat room!!
