Child Protection & Survivor Advocacy
Every Child
Deserves to Be
Heard & Safe.
We fight for survivors, demand school district transparency, and advocate for stronger protections against those who harm children, in courts, classrooms, and communities across Texas.
About Us
Advocacy Rooted in Truth, Driven by Justice
Shield & Voice is a Texas based advocacy platform dedicated to protecting children from abuse, amplifying survivor stories, and holding institutions accountable, especially when schools and districts shield accused or convicted educators from public scrutiny. We believe transparency is not optional. Parents deserve to know when someone entrusted with their child's safety has a history of misconduct.
Silence protects abusers. Transparency protects children.
Child Protection First
Every policy and every piece of legislation is evaluated by one standard: does it make children safer?
Survivor Centered
Survivors lead this work. We create space for their voices and fight for systems that believe and protect them.
Accountability & Transparency
We use public records law, legislative advocacy, and community organizing to hold districts and officials accountable.
Sunni Sproles, Founder
Shield & Voice was founded in Angleton, Texas, and serves families across the state. The work runs on public records requests, legislative drafting, and showing up where decisions get made.
This organization exists because the parents who reach out have almost always already lost time they did not know they were losing. Nobody told them about the deadlines. Nobody handed them the form.
That is what the guides below are for.
Our Work
How We Are Making Change
From the Texas Legislature to local school boards, we push for systemic reform that keeps children safe and survivors heard.
Legislative Reform
We develop and advocate for legislation addressing child witness protections, independent prosecution of child sexual abuse cases, and speedy trial guarantees for child victims.
Texas LegislatureSchool District Transparency
Using the Texas Public Information Act, we investigate and expose districts that conceal misconduct by educators accused or convicted of harming children.
Public RecordsSurvivor Advocacy
We provide a public platform for survivors to share their stories, access resources, and connect with advocates who understand the legal and emotional landscape they face.
Community SupportPublic Accountability
Through social media and direct action, we apply public pressure on institutions that fail to protect children or retaliate against those who speak out.
AwarenessParent Education
We equip parents with tools to research educators, understand their rights under Texas law, and take action when school districts are not forthcoming about safety concerns.
ResourcesPolicy Monitoring
We track pending legislation, court decisions, and TEA rulings that affect child safety statewide, and mobilize our community to respond when action is needed.

If you read nothing else, read this
- No Texas school district can demand your silence. FERPA governs the district, not you.
- A pending Title IX investigation does not silence you either. Federal regulations bar a school from restricting a party's ability to discuss the allegations under investigation.
- Telling any school employee legally puts the district on notice.
- Reporting to a school district police department does not satisfy the mandatory abuse report. Call the sheriff, city police, DPS, or a constable.
- A grievance is the only process that forces written answers and preserves your right to appeal. If you never file one, on paper it never happened.
