Stop Abuse Inc.

Stop Abuse Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization, based in Virginia Beach, VA, with a mission to prevent child sexual abuse through education, detection and referral. We teach children (Kindergarten - 5th Grade) that their bodies are sacred and how important it is to come forward and "Just Tell" about sexual abuse.

Founded in 1986 by Regina Marscheider, a nationally acclaimed master puppeteer and a victim of child sexual abuse. Regina’s life purpose was to use the power of puppets to entertain and empower children to recognize, detect, and disclose sexual abuse in a safe, non-threatening environment. Over the years, her Emmy Award winning marionette show, “Simon Says Just Tell,” has performed in schools and child care centers across our area and beyond. Over one million children have been reached and over 200 predators have been brought to justice.
