Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2162

SPECIAL TOPIC Night - "Examining Institutional Abuse" with special co-host Dr Jill Jones-Soderman, a NAASCA family member and Exec. Dir. of the Foundation for Child Victims of Family Courts. ~~ TONIGHT'S TOPIC: "Tragedy in Connecticut: When Mandated Reporters Fail to Report" ~~ We'll be reflecting on the case of Jennifer Dulos from New Canaan, Connecticut, missing and / or murdered in May 2019. Professionals in the Connecticut community knew that Jennifer Dulos, mother of five children, was in trouble. The combination of child abuse, domestic violence, threats to remove children, high net worth conflict are not just buzz words, they are, or should be, calls to action to practitioners of conscience. Missing as of May 24, 2019, it was only after Forensic Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Stone alerted police to the likelihood that she had been murdered and pressed them to take the next steps that any action was finally taken. First, her car was found, and eventually evidence of a horrific murder and body dismemberment. The FCVFC will be exploring such issues as Mandated Reporters Failure to Report, Who Reports and Why, and what makes Dr. Michael Stone totally unique when it comes to protecting our most vulnerable populations. ~~ NAASCA knows "institutional abuse" is rampant, worldwide, and dramatically effects childhood experience of our youth, frequently causing trauma that lasts a lifetime. Many issues of child abuse involve dealing with the courts and law enforcement, foster care, child protection services, CASA and CAC organizations, etc. Jill's experience with her Foundation for Child Victims of Family Courts and her US Whistleblower effort uniquely position her to speak to these issues.
