ParentAdvocates.org is an online news magazine that seeks to inform and empower parents, guardians, taxpayers and/or anyone who seeks the freedom of independence, the strength of knowledge, and the health and safety of individuals in their care.

The goal of ParentAdvocates.org is to put tax dollar expenditures and other monies used or spent by our federal, state or city governments before your eyes and in your hands. We can then use this information to bring about systemic change and make sure that our elected politicians and educators are as passionate as we are about putting children first.

Through our website, you can learn your rights as a parent as well as to which programs, monies and more you may be entitled...and why you may not be able to exercise these rights.

'F for Fraud' Award
Fraud comes in many shapes and sizes, and we often do not recognize it or the trickster until the consequences of the deceit begin to hurt us or those we love, know, or hear about in the media. Fraudulent actions are always costly, however, and we must remain vigilant in the global effort to stop these practices whenever and wherever they occur. We celebrate the exposure of those people who greedily go after money or glory rather than work hard for a fair wage in a moral and ethical manner by giving them an "F".

Winners of the 2004 F For Fraud Award:

The Belmont Learning Center (Los Angeles)
Teen Boot Camps (International)
The Drug/Insurance/Government Testing and Screening Coalition
