Brooks Middle School in Bolingbrook, Illinois

During a focus on child abuse as part of its issues-oriented presentation at
Brooks Middle School in Bolingbrook, Illinois on November 4, 2013, cast
members from the MWAH! Performing Arts Troupe compared a child to a rose.
How a child is treated - such as whether he's abused physically,
emotionally, or sexually - may determine how he grows, or even if he grows.
How's he's treated may determine whether he grows straight and blossoms, or
whether he begins to wither or bend, maybe even dies.
TEEN HELP HERE!
Any donation to assist in the MWAH! troupe's program development will be gratefully appreciated.
