This project focused on learning and helping through teamwork within our
child safety group. The purpose of this project was to research a global issue,
that we have an interest in, and help improve it in our community.
Why Did We Choose This Topic?
● Personal Connections
● Understand that majority of children suffering have no voice in the
community
● Wanted to do as much as possible to improve this issue
● Not put out there enough, wanted to raise more awareness
● Wanted to educate more within the school community
● Felt that it was a big issue in our community
Signs of Child Abuse
Some basic signs that you can observe include,
● Unexplained injuries
● Changes in behavior
● Fear of going home
● Changes in eating
● Changes in sleeping
● Changes of school performance/attendance
● Lack of care/personal hygiene
● Inappropriate behaviors
There are countless effects that can could make a witness suspicious, if you feel the need to report
something don't hesitate. The children suffering from abuse will most likely not reach out for help.

This Issue on a Global Scale
● Texas has the highest number of child deaths in the United States

● In the last 10 year the number of children deceased, has fluctuated
from 151 to 227
● 60 percent of all reported cases, CPS has been involved with the family
prior to the child's death
Driving Question: How can we contribute

Antonio, as well as educating and raising awareness in the smaller community of Austin
High.
