“Death From Child Abuse…and no one heard is a resource that must be in the hands of every teacher…”
Betty Castor, FL Commissioner of Education
“I first read this book in 7th grade at the request of the
liaison officer of our school. And
while I have never been abused, it carried a life long message with it that
reached to the depth of my soul…”

Tallahassee FL
Why Death From Child Abuse…and no one heard? This powerful little book has proven to be a popular and effective medium for middle and high school level curriculum. Young people deeply empathize with the child in Part I. The story impacts and motivates the student reader at a critical time in their development. The straightforward information in Part II offers them a positive guide for developing relationships and a means to recognize dangerous behavior in themselves or others.
Teacher’s Guide available. The 4-page guide offers concrete steps to grow students’ awareness and knowledge. It proposes that students work in small groups to define child abuse, and then reexamine that definition as they read and analyze the book. Written by Phyllis P.Bray*, the guide can be used as is or can be modified for other grade levels and circumstances. Contact Currier.Davis Publishing for a free copy.

“… I would provide a copy of Death From Child Abuse…and no one
heard for reading by every teacher, social worker, police officer,
government official and “high risk” family…” Lucy

the adult reader, and goes straight to the heart”.
