National Child Abuse Prevention Month

National Child Abuse Prevention Month

For nearly a decade, Oliver North has provided his expertise. His initiatives have centered around his experience with child maltreatment, particularly in the realm of neglect and homelessness due to being a child of parents who struggled with drug addiction—going from five foster homes before the age of 6 to Experiencing Homelessness after his apartment burned down. Being an unaccompanied youth during his high school years is a topic that is near and dear to our organization. While his experiences have built the framework of what Only Thoughts of Ownership are today, these are not experiences, circumstances, or feelings that we want children to experience. Oliver, whose birthday is also in April, does what he can, whether through the OK2D tour, BVO-YOU, or The Passion Tape, to advocate for children who go through, unbeknownst to many people, not just poverty and adversity but abuse.
