The
Coalition Against Institutionalized Child Abuse seeks to
expose and rectify the abuse and distress of children placed in
private residential facilities, behavior modification programs, boot
camps, wilderness programs, and boarding schools. We believe that no
child should be abducted, incarcerated, abused, neglected, or
stripped of their basic human rights for the sake of profit.

Children's Agenda 2008
In 2008, more than seventy Michigan Coalition for Families member
organizations, including ACMH, called upon elected officials
and business leaders to support investments in Michigan's children. Out
of this call to action, came the
2008
Children's Agenda, which is now available online. |
