From the Congressional Record..
JFC is the only nonprofit corporation formed to save at risk unprotected children who have been physically abused or neglected.
Last year Mr. Chip St. Clair, a Rochester Hill resident, called the JFC National Office in Houston and said he wanted to make something good arise from his childhood of abuse and violence.
Becoming a regional director for JFC fulfills that desire and the abused children of Michigan now have an ardent advocate to save them from the life he had to endure as a child.
Mr. St. Clair was a victim of terrible abuse at the hands of father - Michael Grant - who was a convicted child murderer. That murder took place in 1970 in Indiana. Grant escaped from the Indiana State Penitentiary in 1973 with the aid of the woman who would become Chip's mother.
St. Clair was born in 1975 and did not discover that his father was a murderer until 1998 when he was 23 years old.
"I emptied the glass which was full of horror stories my childhood and began filling that glass with nobility and honor. Joining JFC and helping abused children represents a major step in the journey of Justice which began on that fateful day in 1998," said St. Clair.
Justice for children has been acclaimed by the American Bar Association, jurists from around the country, nation television networks, news programs, and bipartisan congressional leaders for its work on behalf of abused and neglected children.
