The National Organization of Parents Of Murdered Children (POMC) is a non-profit organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1978 by Robert and Charlotte Hullinger, POMC provides ongoing emotional support, education, prevention, advocacy, and awareness to all survivors of homicide victims. Their mission is to make a difference in the lives of these survivors by offering support and assistance, while working towards creating a world free of murder. POMC offers various programs and resources to help survivors cope with grief, including survivor support, online support, and training and education. They also advocate for the rights of survivors in the legal system, providing information on victim impact statements, current legislation, and tips from other survivors of violence. Through their Parole Block Program, POMC aims to prevent the early release or parole of convicted murderers, as it is seen as a denigration of the justice system for survivors of homicide victims.Generated from the website
