Mission Statement    The Childhood Shield Foundation (CSF) strongly believes that every child has the right to live in a safe environment, free from physical and mental endangerment resulting from, but not limited to sex abuse, and sexual exploitation.    CSF believes in the protection of the human and civil rights of children guaranteed by law and punishment to the fullest extent of the law to individuals who violate these rights.    CSF will institute programs and services that will help increase “prevention” of child abuse, promote community awareness and alerts, enlist support of volunteers, advocate legislation for child protection, geographically identify and monitor the activities and field reports of child sex offenders, and support victims, their families, schools and communities through crisis intervention.     CSF will form and be part of a vast network of national child safety organizations and affiliations that share a common purpose for the pre-emptive protect of children from sexual predators.
