Cops Care for Kids is an organization whose mission is to provide financial and emotional support for kids with serious illnesses and disabilities. We are police officers in New York City trying to put a smile on a child's face through various means, including toys, a visit from local law enforcement, and honoring the child with a badge and plaque for their bravery. A little support can go a long way to help a child's state of mind and speed up their recovery during their time of distress.

Many programs/facilities employ some version of a tactic called "Code Silence" (this specific term was used first in the program Casa By The Sea). This is used to dominate students through forced silence, meant to socially isolate students until they reach a breaking point. This oppressive silence can last for days, weeks, months, even up to years, if the student does not progress in the levels. This form of treatment causes feelings of frustration, abandonment and separation anxiety (the side effects have proven to result in complex trauma symptoms years after release). By literally taking these children's voices away, the program takes away their right to express themselves, report abuse, and make relationships with their peers. Socialization and the developing brain of a teenager are extremely important. In a toxic totalitarian environment, the last thing a child needs is to be silenced, and that silence ends today… We will speak so that they can be heard. We will be silent no more. #BreakingCodeSilence was created to encourage survivors of institutional abuse to stand up and testify about the abuse in their programs. We speak out today not for ourselves, but for all the victims suffering with no voice and no hope of rescue. #UnitedwithOneVoice is a testament to the realities of the troubled teen industry – by us, the survivors. We hope this demonstration of empowerment and support for all survivors will gain widespread awareness which will fuel legislative action. In previous years, we have fought to bring forward Federal legislative reform. Ultimately it stalled in the House of Representatives and let this failing system prevail. By telling our stories, we will unify our voice that: This cycle of abuse and corruption needs to stop. Children are not disposable. We demand justice!
