Parents Of Murdered Children, Inc. (POMC) is the only nationwide
self-help organization dedicated solely to the aftermath and
prevention of murder.
MISSION
POMC makes the difference through on-going emotional support,
education, prevention, advocacy and awareness.
ORIGIN AND GROWTH
POMC was founded in 1978 by Charlotte and Robert Hullinger in
Cincinnati, Ohio, after the murder of their daughter, Lisa. Father
Ken Czillinger, a Roman Catholic priest active in leading support
groups for the bereaved, directed the Hullingers to others whose
children had been murdered. What was once a small group is now
a national organization with Chapters and Contact Persons
throughout the United States.
FINANCES
POMC relies mostly on donations to support its outreach to those
who have experienced the ultimate loss — the murder of a loved
one.
MEMBERSHIP FEES
There are no membership fees to belong to POMC. The
organization is open to any survivor over 18 of a homicide victim,
as well as professionals who work with survivors.

Parole Block Program
The goal of the Parole Block Program is to help prevent the early release/parole of
Back
those convicted of murder or homicide. It is not the objective of the program to
judge or reevaluate the circumstances surrounding the crime. A judge and/or jury
has heard the facts, determined the degree of guilt, and imposed a sentence — PBP
helps to ensure that the minimum side of that sentence is served.

Murder Wall...Honoring Their Memories
Not only is the Murder Wall...Honoring Their Memories a tribute to the memory
of your loved one, it is a tribute that will guarantee that the memory of those we
miss so deeply will survive forever. The Wall is a powerful statement of the vio-
lence in our society and of the numbers of loved ones senselessly killed by oth-
ers. Not only does it give comfort, but also hope, because every name on it cries
out silently for awareness, prevention, and justice.
The Wall is made up of solid walnut plaques. Each plaque holds 120 names with
dates of birth and dates of death engraved on brass plates measuring 2-1/2” x
1”. The Wall continues to be displayed at the National Conference.
Donation: $75.00 - per inscribed plate
