SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs forward Brent Barry will be named Honorary Chairman of San Antonio’s Blue Ribbon Child Abuse Task Force in a press conference at the Bexar County courthouse today at 4:00 p.m. As Honorary Chairman Barry will help raise awareness and bring positive solutions to the ongoing child abuse crisis in the San Antonio area.

“I look forward to working with everyone on the Blue Ribbon Task Force and anyone who would like to make a difference in a child’s life,” said Barry. “The response the task force has received from all areas of Bexar County and outside the county has been tremendous. We welcome the support and will continue to carry out our goal of protecting children by any means necessary.”

<br>
Barry and his wife Erin, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the Blue Ribbon Task Force, are no strangers to child abuse awareness and prevention. Erin Barry, a former child case worker for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) at Chicago’s Cook County Juvenile Court, has spent the last six years working on improving conditions for children in Chicago, Seattle and now in San Antonio. She and Brent were very active with Childhaven, a service facility for child abuse victims under six years of age, during their five years in Seattle.

어쨌든 학교 내에서 기관총이 난사 하는 곳이기도 하고, 자기들의 우상인 스포츠 선수들이

뒤에서 마약이나 쳐먹고, 사람 죽이는 끔찍한 곳이기도 하지만, 저렇게 사회 봉상에 직접 나서는
<br>
모습도 보이는... 역시 미국이란 나라는 알 수 없는 곳이네요.
