Partnering to Raise Awareness about Child Abuse
On a recent episode of The CW Network’s show Life Unexpected, main character Lux, played by actress Britt Robertson, reveals she was a victim of physical and sexual abuse.
Both are forms of child maltreatment, as are emotional abuse and neglect. Lux is not alone: 772,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment by child protective services in 2008.
The network reached out to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Injury Center to write a public service announcement (PSA) about child maltreatment – and how to prevent it. The PSA aired directly following the episode and provided important information on how to learn more about child maltreatment prevention – and what to do if it’s already happened.
Learn More about our efforts to prevent child maltreatment and join the conversation on Facebook at Facebook.com/vetoviolence.
Check out The CW Network’s show Life Unexpected, which airs Tuesday nights at 9:00 pm (8pm Central time).
