Uniting Communities in Child Protection

Founder/Director
By Erin D. Runnion
The Joyful Child Foundation was established to help caring adults create safer communities
for all children. In the aftermath of Samantha’s abduction, I learned that there are over 58,000
non-family abductions every year and I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a national movement to
better protect children. Our three-pronged approach to the problem gives everyone an
opportunity to be a part of the solution through legislative advocacy, adult education, or child
empowerment programs. Together, we can create sustainable programs that raise awareness,
foster vigilance, and empower children with knowledge and skills to be brave and safe. Ultimately,
our goal is to bring safety empowerment education to every child in America. Thank you for
your help protecting children.
