About Us

The Texas Foundation for Safer Children was chartered on
November 6, 2003, and is dedicated to promoting the safety of
children, and empowering them with the skills and resources they
need in order to keep from becoming or remaining victims of
sexual and/or physical abuse. The Texas F.S.C. is also dedicated
to helping these young people and their families in the healing
process so that they can move forward with their lives, free from
any unnecessary pain that may come with unaddressed issues and
feelings.

Our Mission

The Texas Foundation for Safer Children is dedicated to four
basic areas:

1. To help provide bilingual preventive, interventive and
postventive services to children and families in the
South/Central/North Texas area who have experienced the harsh
realities surrounding domestic violence, including sexual abuse
(pedophilia and incest) and child physical abuse. It is the goal of
the Texas F.S.C. to expand these services to all areas of Texas as
funding permits.

2. Through the use of various means of multimedia, the Texas
F.S.C. will promote innovative bilingual education, cross-cultural
and social awareness and create effective bilingual programs that
directly address the various unspoken and commonly denied issues
of families and children of harsh domestic violence and/or
abusive environments.

3. To promote legislative change regarding current laws and
procedures affecting children and families of domestic violence
and/or child sexual abuse (incest and pedophilia). Texas F.S.C.
will be working closely with some of our Texas legislators to
introduce these proposed changes at the next session of the Texas
Legislature.

4. To design and execute field research to determine the present
status of:

a. domestic violence and/or sexual abuse of the children and
families;
b. the existing programs, and
c. current laws and procedures.
