CAICA would
like to recognize the hard work of Jordan Riak, an advocate for all
children,
including those in the public school system and residential facilities.
Jordan has
accomplished many things during his years of advocacy work, and I
feel he should
be commended for his continued efforts. Most recently Jordan released his
new and revised
booklet, "Plain Talk About Spanking", a must-read for anyone working with
children:
Parents and Teachers Against Violence in Education (PTAVE)
offers this publication for the benefit of children everywhere.
The ideas that you will read here are not new or revolutionary.
There have always been wise and perceptive people in every
civilized culture who advocated nonviolent methods for socializing
children. But, for the most part, their good advice has been ignored
or rejected, and the consequences to humanity have been
incalculable. In these few pages we have attempted to summarize
their message and offer it once again. by Jordan Riak.

Jordan Riak, Cathy
Sutton, and Isabelle Zehnder together attended the Victim's March in
Sacramento.
Our goals were to expose deaths
in facilities as well as to educate the public about on-going child
abuse
Thank you, Jordan, for your continued hard work.
