The Baby Professor is a national organization that works to prevent child abuse and neglect. We believe that all children deserve to live in a safe and nurturing environment, and we work to create that environment for every child.

One of the most important things we do is to educate parents and caregivers about the signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect. We also teach them how to respond to these signs and symptoms, and how to get help for children who are being abused or neglected.

We know that silence is not golden when it comes to child abuse and neglect. We believe that speaking out can help to prevent these crimes from happening, and we encourage everyone to speak up if they suspect that a child is being abused or neglected.
