Somerset s own State Rep. Shane Baker spoke at Saturday s Broken Pieces No More event at the Rocky Hollow Recreation Center. Christopher Harris It excites the fire out of me, because it s like starting a wildfire. You start that little spark, then it goes to another, and it goes to another.
Pamela Richards-Woodall was excited with the message being put forth Saturday at Standing United for Our Children, the fourth-annual event to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect that she s help make a reality. Richards-Woodall founded the group Broken Pieces No More, which is dedicated to raising awareness of the problem in this area and beyond, and hopefully putting a stop to it.

During the era of COVID-19, many things have been put on hold. Child abuse is not one of them.
Raising awareness of the problem is why Broken Piece No More exists. The faith-based non-profit organization is holding an event for this purpose for the fourth straight year, and the message is no less important today than when Pamela Richards-Woodall first started this mission.
