Child Abuse Poster Kid Sized

How do you tell an abused child it's okay to call for help? Make the ad visible to the kids and not the abuser.

Watch the ad at about 30 seconds to see what children see. There is also a nice graphic showing how the height of the viewer affects what is seen.

I've been tasered by their concept of every person of a specific age is a specific height.

Little people adults and tall children aside, this ad kind of negates the effectiveness of the plan.

Expat, I agree that child abusers are repulsive. I think this is an ingenious use of a very old technology. Sure, kids outside the bell curve height-wise may miss the message, but that aspect is all percentages. My greatest concern is that the concept will be bastardized by kiddie marketers.
