The Lisa Project in Visalia

The Lisa Project is in Visalia.  This is a mobile exhibit that gives the experience typical of a child in an abusive situation.  Not only will you see with your eyes, you will hear with your ears 911 calls, stories of pain, smell the scene of neglect.  Children in our society, in our own backyard live daily these lives.  We cannot turn away anymore, we cannot tell ourselves it is none of our business.

I have checked out some statistics and according to the United States Government Accountability Office, more than 5 children die every day as a result of child abuse. 80% of those children who die are under the age of 4!

About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the cycle of abuse. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services  

The exhibit is rated PG-13 due to some mature content.   Make yourself aware and be an advocate for those who can't speak out for themselves!
