Justice's S.A.K.E. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit private foundation dedicated to enriching, supporting, and changing the lives of children and their families.

While we are not doctors, psychologists, or therapists, our mission is to stand beside the organizations and professionals who provide direct care to victims of child abuse. We believe that by strengthening these vital programs, we can create safer, healthier futures for children in our community.

We proudly support organizations such as:

• Citizens Assisting and Sheltering the Abused (CASA) – providing licensed therapists who specialize in helping survivors of mental, physical, and emotional abuse.

• Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) – training volunteers to advocate in court for the best interests of abused and neglected children.

• Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) – empowering children with the courage and confidence they need to stand up against their abusers.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please reach out to one of these 24-hour hotlines:

• Citizens Assisting and Sheltering the Abused (CASA): 301-739-8975

• Washington County Department of Social Services: 240-420-2222

• National Child Abuse Hotline: 800-422-4453

All children deserve to live in a safe and loving household.

Child abuse is a devastating experience with lifelong consequences. Tragically, it remains far too common in America.

• Nearly 700,000 children are abused in the United States each year.

• More than 4 million cases of suspected child abuse are investigated annually by child protective services.

• In 2018, an estimated 1,765 children died from abuse and neglect.

• By 2022, that number had risen to nearly 1,990 child fatalities—a heartbreaking increase.

• In 2023, approximately 2,000 children lost their lives due to abuse or neglect.

These numbers are more than statistics—they represent children whose futures were stolen.

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and loving home. They are our future, and it should never hurt to be a child.

At Justice’s S.A.K.E., we believe that by standing together as a community, we can break the cycle of abuse, protect the most vulnerable, and create a world where every child has the chance to thrive.

Together, we can make a difference.
