Every Day in Oklahoma

  • 150 babies are born
    • 7 of the babies are born to children
    • 62 of the babies are born without adequate prenatal care
    • 12 of the babies are born too small
  • 84 children are investigated for allegations of serious child abuse and/or neglect
  • 24 children are confirmed to be victims of child abuse and/or neglect

From a recent Oklahoma Policy Institute (OPI) powerpoint presentation using information provided in the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA) 2010 KIDS COUNT Factbook.

Under the knife of budget cuts at the Oklahoma state capitol are funds to protect and care for children being abused and/or neglected.

Matt 25 - (37) Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink? (38) When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you? (39) Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you? (40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto Me."
