The Zahra Project
Woman crusades for tougher laws to prevent child abuse.
By Sarah Newell williamson

HICKORY --
When Kristie Pope learned what happened to 10-year-old Zahra Clare Baker, she had heard enough about children who had been abused, injured or killed at the hands of others. She was ready to do something about it.
Pope formed The Zahra Project on Facebook around Oct. 14, just a few days after the Zahra case turned into a homicide investigation. Since then, The Zahra Project has generated more than 6,000 followers.
I wanted to get people together who were sick of watching how DSS (the Department of Social Services) has failed kids, Pope, 40 and a mother of three, said. With the Caylee Anthony case, who could have predicted it? But with the Zahra Baker case, the more you learn about it, the more you could have predicted it.
