CHILDREN 1ST is a Scottish charity which aims to give every child in Scotland a safe and secure childhood. Also known as the Royal Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children (RSSPCC), CHILDREN 1ST supports families under stress, protects children from harm and neglect, promotes children’s rights and helps children recover from abuse.〔http://www.children1st.org.uk〕 == History == The RSSPCC has its origins in the anti cruelty movement that grew up in America in the 19th century. Following a landmark lawsuit, in which the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took a case under animal cruelty legislation against two New Yorkers for abusing an eight-year-old child, Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children sprang up on both sides of the Atlantic.〔(The History of NYSPCC )〕 In 1884 it was beginning to be understood that there was a considerable amount of abuse to children being perpetrated on children in the UK. To counter this the first Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was established in London. Following on from this creation in England branches began to be set up throughout Scotland and in 1889, the Glasgow and Edinburgh branches joined to form the Scottish National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In the same year, the first Act of Parliament for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was passed. The NSPCC, also began to come into existence around this time and now operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Although the two charities are completely separate organisations, they work together to improve the lives of children and families throughout the UK. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Children 1st」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
