Tell us about your nominee. Why should he or she be recognized as a Jewish Community Hero?
Evin has been an active volunteer for hospice and most recently as a Guardian ad litem with the 15th circuit court of Palm Beach county. He was voted Guardian of the year in 2006. As a guardian he became all too painfully aware of the lack of concern and resources for children in our society in general. In an effort to put an end to child abuse he founded and operates CAN. Child Abuse Watch. (www.abusewatch.net) Initially launching this informative website here in the US. Within 1 year he now has websites in Europe, Astralia, NewZealand with translations in Spanish, French, Italian, (soon to be in Hebrew, Russian and Portugese.) He pushes children's issues to the forefront of his news stories featured on the ButlerReport (of which he is publisher). He campaigns Washington single handedly without lobbying funds, merely with his own talent of writing. He is a David fighting a colossal Goliath. He puts in long hours in his single minded effort to bring to the public forefront a topic others find too uncomfortable to face. To "speak" for those without a voice. The site is a user friendly resource for social workers, healthcare providers, the public in general, those who are abused and in need of help....a site for all, with comprehansive resources and up to date educational resources for identifying and helping children suffering from abuse/neglect. Prevention is key and is the primary focus of abusewatch.net Evin works diligently and pushes this topic under the noses of politicians around the world, from Palm Beach to Dublin, Yemen to Brisbane.
