Family Resource Center empowers Mom to be her family's advocate

"Parenting does not come without challenges, and for Katie one big challenge came early on. Her newborn did not keep down breast milk. This was not typical "spit up". Weight loss came fast for her newborn; but answers did not. After working with local doctors and hospitals to no avail, Katie embraced her role as her child's best advocate and drove to Boston Children's Hospital. After being treated for dehydration for three days and undergoing multiple tests, her baby was diagnosed with a rare milk allergy."

Home alone for months: NH child neglect can be stopped

"All cases of child abuse or neglect are tragic. Unfortunately, it happens more often than we'd like, inside and outside of the home. According to what we know about child development, it is unsafe and inappropriate to leave young children home alone. Caring for children is not a part-time job. It's important caregivers have the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the health and well-being of the children in their care. It's also important that as family, friends and neighbors, we are aware of the children in our lives and take action when necessary. "
