Donna J. Stone has a vision of a future in which no children are ever abused or neglected.
She recognizes the importance of ensuring great childhoods for all children, and starts the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse in Chicago with ”seed” money from her own fortune. In 1974, the committee sponsors a four-day seminar on child abuse at the University of Chicago Center for Continuing Education, which more than 300 people attend. The 200,000 cases of child abuse reported annually ”are just the tip of the iceberg,” she says at the time, because few states actively enforce the requirement that incidents be reported.
