How We Got Started
ABOUT THE FOUNDER:
Sandra Potter founded her organization in 2007 after the man who molested her daughter was released from prison ~ She needed a positive avenue to vent her anger & try to prevent other families from having to go through the same anguish that her family endured. She was shocked to learn how many parents did not know the child abuse statistics, signs or symptoms or how to check the National Sex Offender Registry. She has made it her mission to try to educate the public on this increasing epidemic plaguing our nation.
She is also a writer, editor & co-author with best-selling Barnes & Noble Author, Donna M. Kshir. They have published six books together and are currently working on continuing their series. She is currently attending college full-time at SC4 (St. Clair College, Port Huron) and is majoring in CRIMINAL JUSTICE--LAW ENFORCEMENT.
