Children need a voice... The Watchful Shepherd Program provides children and their families a voice against a growing, yet very hidden evil -- family violence and the abuse of children. With an easy-to-use technology, we continue to find ways to protect children, helping them build the strength they need to speak out against their fears before it's too late.
