Our first goal at 10.18 is to prevent child abuse and exploitation by educating adults to safeguard and protect the children in their lives. At the same time, we must not negate the need to be ready to identify and stop child abuse of all forms —to respond immediately, appropriately, and effectively.

Identify and Stop Child Exploitation

To correctly identify and stop child abuse requires knowledge that most citizens do not have. Our vision is to equip at least 1% of the U.S. adult population with this essential life-changing information before it is needed! Because early detection and action are essential to reducing a child’s suffering.

Don’t wait till a Child Tells

Since most children internalize and blame themselves for their abuse—two-thirds of victims never disclose what is happening to them. It is vitally essential for caring adults to be able to recognize the subtle warning signs and engage before a child says something.
