STOP CHILD ABUSE NOW! since 1975 from Donora, Pennsylvania to Portland, Oregon. Paul Marvin McLaughlin and his twin sister Paula were born on October 13,
1948 in Donora, Pennsylvania, and were systematically abused, neglected and terrorized for more than eighteen years. Paul nearly died twice from the injuries he suffered as a result of this abuse.
Medical report from Charleroi, Pennsylvania.
Paul's twin sister Paula, passed away on August 27, 2007 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania at the age of 59 due to illness with kidney stones since 1975.
Because of the effects of the abuse he suffered, Paul was placed in the Special Education track in Donora. Paul graduated from Donora High School at the age of 21in 1970. Paul's twin sister graduated from Donora High School
at the age of 18 in 1967.
Paul began his one-man child abuse advocacy campaign, "Help Stop Child
Abuse Now," in 1975. Paul started his campaign in Donora, and has
continued his efforts on behalf of children in Portland and Eugene,
Oregon. And his travels across the U.S. with Public Speeches and Fund Raising.
Paul has told his story on 15 talk-radio programs, a television
commercial, in two magazine articles and many newspaper articles. He has spoken at open forums in Washington and Oregon, side by side with those who specialize in child abuse and domestic family violence. He has
volunteered and worked with other non profit organizations. He shows the people in many communities how to contact proper agencies for assistance for drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, runaways, or physical abuse.
Many lives have been changed as the direct result of Paul's advocacy and his love of children. Let's all work together to Stop Child Abuse Now!
