Hello all, we are the child abuse social justice group made up of five eighth graders from LREI (Little Red Elizabeth Irwin) Jessica, Lucy, Amalia, Sam and August. We chose the topic of child abuse because we felt that this topic is a huge problem in society that goes unrecognized by so many. Our groups goal is to get at least five fieldworks which are any type of meeting, interview, tour etc. with organizations that help abused children.
