Copies of the 2005 Night of the Child painting, “A Happy Childhood Lasts A Lifetime,”

According to Rutledge, the painting portrays what PCA Louisiana stands for—the idea of children living “free from the cares thrust upon them by people and circumstances beyond their control.” This painting was chosen as the official image for the 2005 Night of the Child artwork because the happy, little girl represents a childhood free from the stresses of abuse, neglect and violence—the type of life that every child should experience. Prevent Child Abuse Louisiana , the state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of abuse and neglect in all its forms. Night of the Child is PCA Louisiana’s premier fundraiser, assisting the organization in implementing child abuse prevention programs throughout Louisiana. The organization is headquartered in Baton Rouge, with regional offices in Shreveport, Monroe , Alexandria , New Orleans, Lafayette and Lake Charles .
