Steven Tyler
When Steven Tyler co-wrote Aerosmith's hit Janie's Got a Gun almost 30 years ago, he knew he wanted to help young women who had been abused.
This week the rocker saw that dream come to fruition with the opening of Janie's House, a home for abused and neglected girls just outside Atlanta.
Tyler participated in a "scarf cutting" Wednesday at the facility in Douglasville, Georgia.
The singer said a stint in rehab years ago allowed him to meet many women who were there partly because of struggles resulting from abuse.
Tyler participated in various charities for years but in 2015 started his own, Janie's Fund, and partnered with Youth Villages to help at-risk girls.
