“As the child within dies, the Life in his eyes fades along with the Hope and
Love.”

This Loss can never be recovered.

Every year there are millions of reported incidents of child abuse. Child abuse
is a unspeakable crime against those who cannot protect themselves, and for many
help can come too late. Welcome to Wings For Children, the site devoted to child
abuse. Here you will find information on preventing child abuse, databases for
missing children and sex offender registries. There is our “Angel Wings”
program, created to help abused children reach destinations across America, and
links to other child abuse prevention sites. Angel Wings transports sick and
terminally ill children by privately owned aircraft and pilots for treatment.

We are an all volunteer organization.  Wings for Children has neither charged
for any service or expense, nor have there ever been any paid staff.

Imagine a world where child abuse and neglect does not exist. We would be
overjoyed if Wings for Children was not needed, but until then. Our mission is
clear…

Founded in Feb. 1978

ADVOCACY

We work only for the children and their best interest. We are not beholding to
the parents, other family members, organizations or agencies; and often work
with the courts for the benefit of abused, neglected, abandoned children.

In that regard, we often try to get the reporter to make the report directly
with Social Services or Law Enforcement; but if they are reluctant, we will make
the report.

Often, we find that we get inquiries from family members, neighbors, teachers
and the like.

As the childs’ advocate we do our best to see that there is a proper
investigation and share information with the agency or law enforcement. However,
it is not our job to investigate.

We do remain with the case, often throughout criminal process (if that is
involved), family court, guardians and other agencies, until a conclusion.

We object to inmate probation and parole, in some cases and have been very
successful keeping the perpetrators in prison. We prepare detailed information
about their crime and present it to the Parole Board along with testimony and
sometimes other witnesses.

We have never charged for any services, or expense on anything we have handled.
We are totally volunteer.

LEGISLATION

In 1974, I began a grass roots effort to draft the Child Protection Act and the
Criminal Sexual Conduct Code. Both laws were passed in 1977, making dramatic
changes to the law. For that work, I was awarded the Citizen of the Year in 1977
by the S C Legislature.

Other laws that we were very active in: Termination of Parental Rights; Uniform
Child Custody Act; and Sex Offender Registry. In addition, we participated in
various amendments over the past 35 years to these laws.

I often testified at various hearings regarding these laws. In the 1980's, I
worked with Senator Strom Thurmonds office to establish the Center for Missing
and Exploited Children; and later the S C Missing and Exploited Children’s
office.

EDUCATION

Often we speak with statewide groups, schools, day cares, all types of civic
organizations, by request.

This community work is on­going.

At some of these meetings, we have received awards for our work.

COLLABORATION

Always. On a local, county, statewide, and sometimes national level. It takes
all of that to help children; and much more than a village.

In addition, the faces of these organizations and agencies as well as other
resources are constantly changing. We have to stay on top of that in order to
expedite issues that these children face.

Often, we follow the children and their families through many changes; and that
brings us in contact with even more people, including new sets of guidelines.

As an example, we work with spouse abuse shelters; treatment and foster care
facilities, and sometimes nursing homes where children have been placed for
rehabilitation and treatment after abuse.

Once we began Angel Flights in 1993, we work with a lot of hospitals across the
U S arranging missions to transport children for treatment or to return home.

NATIONAL

We have worked on cases in most states in the US. Because of our location, we
have a lot of activity in South Carolina; but the border states as well.

As an example; in one trip to Texas we were hands on in cases from Odessa,
Midlands, Paris and Sherman, including cases of abuse, neglect and missing
children.

Also, we get referrals from National organizations.

Most National organizations do not directly work on reports and cases;
consequently we get a lot of referrals.
