TOGETHER WE CAN

Child Abuse by the Numbers:
❉ Every 40 seconds a child is abused in America
❉ 4,837 of Colorado’s children are abused each year
❉ 20 children die in Colorado from abuse each year
Most current statistics from the Child Welfare League of America, “Colorado’s Children
2004” and “National Fact Sheet 2004.”
All children sometimes fear the shadows and
sounds of the world outside their bedroom windows.
But children who are abused may fear the very people
who should be keeping them safe.
The walls of their homes – designed to offer protection
– may seem to them more like a prison.
We’ve all read the horrendous stories: a child intentionally scalded…babies shaken or knocked unconscious …children injured and even killed by the very
people who were supposed to be caring for them.
Then there are the stories of everyday abuse that may
not grab headlines but can make a child’s life a waking
nightmare.
It’s not something we like to think about but it’s something we must not ignore.
Together we feel a sense of outrage and sadness when
we hear these stories.
Together – each of us helping in our own way – we
can stand up for children who cannot stand up for
themselves.
At Kempe, we prevent child abuse and neglect, treat
children who have suffered and research ways to stop
the cycle of abuse.
Every child seen at Kempe is in the hands of the
nation’s leading experts on child abuse.
Each dollar given to Kempe is a gift of hope. Hope
that a child’s despair and pain have come to an end.
In the pages that follow you’ll learn how children’s
lives have been changed by Kempe. But we can only
provide this help with your continued support.
Sadly, child abuse is all too real – and all too common.

Dear Friends,
Each of the 67 employees of the Kempe Children’s Center has his or her own story of dedication.
Ann Petrila is one of those committed professionals who work every day to protect children. Ann says
the toughest part of her job is seeing just how vulnerable children are and how seemingly easy it is for
people to hurt them. She knows just how real child abuse is. But she also knows how children can
overcome their abuse.
“I love to think of all the possibilities. Children are so resilient,” Ann says. “No matter what has happened to them they always seem to find a way to bounce back… They focus on making life better in the
present rather than dwelling on what their childhood should have been.”
Kempe by the Numbers
in 2003-2004:
Ann knows that preventing and treating child abuse takes an entire community working together. “It
takes medical professionals, law enforcement officers, social workers, doctors, education, and financial
support to help these children,” Ann says. “These programs make a difference for abused children.”
❉ 1,270 children treated
At Kempe, we are reminded every day that it takes all of us to do something about child abuse.
Together, the Kempe Children’s Foundation and Kempe Children’s Center create a single force to help
abused children. Together, our professionals and your financial support create a world of hope for
abused children. Our doctors, lawyers, psychologists and social workers are called to speak at national
and international conferences on child abuse and neglect because, quite simply, they’re among the best
in the world. But still our professionals are constantly researching to discover even better ways to treat
abused children.
❉ 2,483 professionals
trained to work on the
front lines defending
children
❉ 100,000 visitors educated

As the Social Work Director of Kempe’s Fostering Healthy Futures program, Ann supervises the social
work interns who serve as mentors. Today, Ann is training the future of child protection.
❉ Over 600 calls and 400
e-mails answered to help
parents, neighbors,
teachers and professionals

“The mentors who are selected for this program are some of the best students in the University of
Denver’s Social Work master’s program,” Ann notes. “Through the education and field work at Kempe,
they leave with the tools to protect children. That is what working at Kempe is all about.”
Together, Kempe is making a difference. Although we have made huge strides in the prevention,
treatment and research of child abuse, there is so much more we have to do.
Join us. Together we can.
Sincerely,
ANN

Dr. C. Henry Kempe is more than our founder; he’s our daily inspiration.
In 1962, Dr. Kempe and his colleagues published "The Battered Child Syndrome" in the Journal of
the American Medical Association. This article exposed the reality that significant numbers of parents
and caretakers battered their children, even to death. “The Battered Child Syndrome” established a
pattern of medical symptoms and created a medical and psychiatric model to diagnose child abuse.
This work is regarded as the single most significant event in creating an awareness of the magnitude of
child abuse in the United States and throughout the world. In fact, “The Battered Child Syndrome” was
cited by the American Medical Association as one of the 60 most important contributions of American
medicine in the 20th century.
When Dr. Kempe first tried to draw attention the problem of child abuse nearly a half-century ago,
he ran into resistance.
Child abuse is a diagnosis so disturbing that for many it would be easier to reach any other conclusion -even if these explanations didn’t match the child’s injuries.
“Many physicians find it hard to believe that such an attack could have occurred and they attempt to
obliterate such suspicions from their minds, even in the face of obvious circumstantial evidence,”
Dr. Kempe wrote in “The Battered-Child Syndrome.”
Through his determined efforts, Dr. Kempe helped force the nation, and the world, to address this
uncomfortable issue. In a remarkably short time, Dr. Kempe not only raised the awareness of the
problem of child abuse, but also helped the nation take concrete steps to prevent it. By 1967, only five
years after the publication of “The Battered Child Syndrome,” all 50 states had laws requiring childabuse reporting.
“Henry wouldn’t look the other way,” said Donald C. Bross, Kempe’s Director of Education and
Legal Counsel.
Dr. Kempe’s practical approaches are still being used every day to prevent child abuse. The Kempe Child
Protection Team, based on the model pioneered by Dr. Kempe, helps diagnose, evaluate and treat
hundreds of children every year.
“Our children’s future and the world’s future are one.”
His ability to combine tenacious research and advocacy with compassion for individual children
continues to provide a model for our work. He knew that together we could find an end to child abuse.
Join us and make this dream come true.

When ShaMari, now six, and SheaVon, now five, came into Kirsten and James Scott’s lives the
boys were traumatized by abuse. Both boys had been neglected and physically and mentally abused. The
boys had moved from foster home to foster home until they arrived three years ago at the home of
James’ mother, who served as a foster parent. When they arrived, they had nothing except the clothing
on their bodies.
“I can remember seeing them for the first time,” Kirsten says. “All ShaMari had on was a giant white
undershirt. The first time we met them there was an instant connection. We were instantly in love with
them and they were all over us.”
For the next year, Kirsten and James worked to gain custody of the boys. In June of 2002 they legally
adopted ShaMari and SheaVon. Both needed help; the abuse and neglect had damaged their fragile lives.
“The staff at the
ShaMari was angry and violent. He would scratch and bite anyone who came near him. At age three,

Today, ShaMari and SheaVon are what little boys should be. They play, they laugh, they smile. The road
was tough, but the Scotts now have happy, healthy boys to love.
“It’s so sad to see what has happened to these little boys. It just makes you want them to have the best

Two weeks after the birth of her third child, Carla began experiencing intense headaches,
numbness in her face and arm, and severe anxiety. Carla, a dedicated mother, was feeling extremely
overwhelmed taking care of her new baby boy, Owen.
She started having fears of dying. Her thoughts were so overwhelming she found it difficult to care for
her children. Carla became even more concerned when she had thoughts of hurting her children. She
was shocked by her own thoughts.
Carla finally collapsed - emotionally and physically. One morning she couldn’t will herself out of bed.
Her husband, who had been very concerned about her condition, urged her to take a shower and get
ready for the day. Once in the bathroom, Carla curled up into a ball on the floor, exhausted. Carla’s
husband then rushed her to the emergency room.
Finally, at the hospital, a professional diagnosed Carla with postpartum depression (PPD). PPD is a serious medical condition related to depression and anxiety that occurs in the months following childbirth.
PPD occurs in 13 percent of expectant and new mothers, affecting more than 500,000 women each year
in the United States. The symptoms of PPD range from depression, anxiety, obsessive or intrusive thinking, headaches and numbness to thoughts of harming oneself or the baby. Left untreated, PPD may
become worse and affect the baby's health and development.
Despite a clear diagnosis, Carla still did not know where to get treatment and support. A friend urged
her to seek help from Kempe. Four months after Owen’s birth, Carla joined the Kempe Postpartum
Depression Support Group. There she found other women with similar feelings and thoughts. She was
finally able to proactively cope with her depression.
The support group helps women with PPD through weekly group therapy. Each session includes time
for the mothers to be with their babies to form lasting, healthy bonds. In the past year, Kempe helped
39 moms like Carla overcome PPD to become happier, healthier parents. Metro area hospitals, doctors
and mental health professionals used the program as a resource 117 times in the last year.
After five months of therapy, Carla still has her rough days, but is on the road to becoming a happier
mom. Looking back, Carla believes that her PPD symptoms started five years ago with the birth of her
first child. She feels relief that her negative thoughts never resulted in harm to her children. She hopes
that other women with PPD seek help.
“Do everything you can do get the help you need,” Carla says. “Find whatever works for you, but the
group therapy at Kempe has been great for me because there is so much comfort in knowing other
women who know exactly what you’re going through.”

It says a lot when a 28-year-old learns from two 10-year-old boys. Vashawn Banks was
one of the eight social work students in Kempe’s Fostering Healthy Futures program. In the last year,
Fostering Healthy Futures evaluated 50 children from Denver’s child welfare system. Sixteen participated
in a 30-week program to teach them life skills they need to overcome the challenges of adolescence.
Vashawn was assigned to mentor two 10-year-old boys. Both had been placed in foster care due to abuse
or neglect. Kempe’s research has found that at least one in three adolescents in foster care have dropped
out of high school, nearly one in six have attempted suicide, and one in six girls were pregnant before
age 18. The Fostering Healthy Futures program hopes to improve these grim statistics.
For the children in the program, the mentors are a source of consistency in their often turbulent lives.
The mentors take the kids out at least twice a week to talk about school, friends, their foster families and
life. Vashawn often took his boys to the library. There he was able to tutor them and help them apply
the lessons they learned to real life. After homework, they would play basketball or throw around a
football. These play times brought them closest.
“This program has

“I was able to talk to him and he was able to express how much he would miss me,” Vashawn says.
“Now, I’m not an emotional guy, but … we shed tears together. It was such a rush of emotion to have to
say goodbye to my little man. I also saw how important it was for him to see a strong, independent man
showing this emotional display."
Vashawn says he learned much from the boys that Kempe brought into his life.

Kempe Child Protection Team This is Kempe's first-line defense for children who are suspected victims of
child abuse and neglect. This team of pediatricians, mental health professionals and hospital social workers is
available every day to consult on any child abuse concerns. In the last year, the Kempe Child Protection Team
provided evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for more than 800 children.
Kempe Infants in Foster and Kinship Care Project This program provides developmental assessments,
supports coordinated medical and developmental services, and provides intensive intervention to support the
emotional development of infants placed in the care of a foster family or with a relative (the latter is called “kinship
care”). The goal is to prevent these children from developing more serious problems needing more expensive
treatments down the road. This year, the program provided services to over 248 children and their families.
Kempe Perpetration Prevention Program This program treated and evaluated 10
children this year who had sexually abused other children. It is the national leader in
training professionals in the Kempe method of perpetration prevention. Last year, the
program directly trained 915 professionals.
Policy Program/Denver Platform
Through a unique partnership with the Denver
Department of Human Services, Kempe coordinates the care for every abused child admitted to
Infants in Foster and Kinship Care, the Under
Sixes Program, and Fostering Healthy Futures.
In addition, this program’s research findings help
direct the advocacy efforts of the Kempe
Children’s Foundation.
Kempe Primary Care Clinic Located in The Children's Hospital, the
clinic provides medical care to children in foster and kinship care in the
Denver metropolitan area. The clinic serves as the primary care office for 148
children. This program also is working on the first national study of the
medical care of children in foster and kinship care. This study, the National
Survey of America’s Families, addresses the needs of 475,000 children in foster
care and four million children in kinship care.
Kempe State and Regional Team for Crimes Against Children
(START) This team of physicians, social workers,
pediatric nurses, child psychologists, infant mental
health specialists and lawyers is called to consult on the
most challenging child abuse cases throughout the
Rocky Mountain region. This team works to pick apart
the facts and find the truth behind child abuse
allegations. Last year, Kempe's START Team provided
consultation on 131 cases in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho,
Nebraska and Wyoming.
Kempe Training, Education and Consultation Kempe works to establish
the leading education programs on child abuse and neglect, provides clinical answers
to e-mails and phone calls, and undertakes research projects. Through 25 separate
educational sessions, Kempe taught 1,140 students across Colorado last year.
Kempe Under Sixes Program This program creates a system of mental health services for abused and neglected
infants, toddlers and preschoolers who are served by the Denver Child Welfare System. The program provides
ongoing training and consultation for caseworkers, and provided mental health treatment for 131 children in the
last year.

For 20 years, Walt and Georgia Imhoff have been making the dream of a better world a reality
for the children treated at Kempe. A friend introduced Georgia to Kempe in 1984. With her nursing
background and love of children, it was perfect fit.
“Preventing child abuse is just a passion for me,” Georgia says. “It’s just a heartfelt passion.”
“We have five children and children’s issues have always been one of our focuses,” Walt says. “You see
the cases that come before Kempe are just unconscionable. I can’t image how anyone could ever hurt
a child.”
The Imhoffs have been an unstoppable force of support for the children treated at Kempe. Georgia
founded the Kempe Children's Foundation Endowment Fund and the Kempe Children's Foundation
Alliance volunteers. Walt led the capital campaign to build Kempe a new home that was christened the
Georgia and Walt Imhoff Pavilion in honor of their devotion to children.
Now the Imhoffs continue their support of Kempe by leading the Kempe Children’s Foundation Board
in a new capital campaign to prepare for Kempe’s 2007 move to the Fitzsimons medical campus in
Aurora, Colorado.
“The Board has decided that it is important for Kempe to be close to the Children’s Hospital to
continue our protection of abused children,” Walt says. “Plus the Fitzsimons campus is becoming
recognized worldwide as a state-of-the-art health care campus. Going there gives Kempe the credibility
it deserves.”
Over the last 20 years, the Imhoffs have donated $1 million to support Kempe’s ongoing efforts to
prevent, treat and research child abuse. The Imhoffs say they hope others will join them and get
involved in various aspects of Kempe’s work for children.

Dr. Kempe knew that it would take the entire community to bring an end to child abuse. In 1976, the
Kempe Children's Foundation was established by community leaders, philanthropists and business professionals to
lead fundraising, awareness and advocacy efforts to change the lives of abused children.
All donations to Kempe are fully tax deductible.

Events Through the proceeds from the On Wings of Hope Gala, Step Right Up for Kids and the Elway
Foundation’s Celebrity Golf Tournament, in the last year Kempe was able to raise $442,116 to directly help the kids
we treat. To get involved by sponsoring an event or buying individual tickets call 303-864-5300.
Awareness Campaign Kempe increased Colorado’s awareness of child abuse with a statewide advertising campaign. Through a generous grant from the Colorado Children’s Trust Fund, Kempe asked viewers to consider “What
Would You Do?” if they witnessed a potentially abusive situation. Last year, during the advertising campaign in April
and May, 43,312 visitors went to www.kempe.org to learn more about how we can recognize child abuse and do
something about it.

It takes all of us to recognize child abuse and do something about it.
When you see a parent losing control, offer support by saying, “Your child seems to be trying your patience.
Is there anything I can do to help?" Alternatively, start up a conversation with the child
to distract him or her from misbehaving. If you see or know of an abusive situation,
call 911 or your county social services department immediately. It’s always better to be overly cautious
than to endanger a child by doing nothing. To get more tips on what to do in an
abusive situation go to www.kempe.org.

The Kempe Children’s Foundation has received an unqualified audit by independent auditors Kundinger, Corder & Engle, P.C. Between the dates of
July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, Kempe received 2,197 gifts from 1,506 donors. There was a dramatic increase in support from foundations due to many
of Kempe’s existing funders increasing the size of their gifts in fiscal year 2004. This outpouring of support resulted in a 53% increase in total revenue
to the Foundation.
With these dollars we are making a difference for the 3,792 children, parents and professionals touched by Kempe’s prevention, research and treatment
efforts. With ever-increasing demand for resources, we are always looking for increased support from our donors. Thank you to all of our supporters for
hearing our call and pledging to help the children today and in the future.
Together we can!
