Child abuse prevention group seeks dolls

An organization that works to prevent child abuse is asking the

community for help in building a monument at its Newport Beach

headquarters.

The monument, set to be unveiled Tuesday morning by Parent Help USA,

is made up of dolls and bears. The organization hopes to bring attention

to the more than 2,000 victims of child abuse who have lost their lives

since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

But Parent Help is in need of more dolls to accurately reflect the

epidemic of child abuse, officials said.

Dolls and bears may be dropped off at or mailed to Parent Help USA,

3848 Campus Drive, Suite 101, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

Information: (949) 251-9274.
