Abused Children in Maine Need a Voice
with Bill Diamond
Kids in Maine's care are suffering abuse and sometimes being killed. The child protective system is leaving caseworkers, foster parents, children and other stakeholders unsupported. Walk a Mile in Their Shoes was solely founded to prevent the abuse and homicide of children that are involved with the system. We'd like to share what we've learned from listening sessions held across Maine and how we are supporting children under Maine's supervision.
