Prevent Child Abuse. Be Part of the Solution.

Preventing child abuse starts with all of us. Small actions can make a big difference - listen to children, build safe and trusting relationships, learn the warning signs, and speak up when something doesn’t seem right.

When we support children and families, we help create a safer community for everyone.

Together, we can break the cycle of violence and end child abuse forever.

Child neglect can be difficult to recognize, but knowing the signs can make a difference. 💙

Watch for patterns such as:
• Frequent hunger or lack of adequate food
• Poor hygiene or consistently inappropriate clothing
• Unexplained or untreated medical needs
• Frequent absences from school
• A child regularly being left without appropriate supervision
• A noticeable lack of emotional support, attention, or care

One sign alone doesn’t always mean neglect - but if something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it.

We all have a role in keeping children safe. Awareness is the first step toward prevention. Together, we can help ensure every child has the care, support, and protection they deserve.

Child grooming can happen online - and it may be harder to recognize than you think. 🚨

Be aware if a child:
• Becomes unusually secretive about their online activity
• Receives unexpected gifts, money, or gaming credits
• Is communicating with someone they met online, especially an older person
• Suddenly changes their mood or behavior after being online
• Seems anxious, upset, or afraid about messages or notifications
• Withdraws from family or friends
• Uses sexual language or knowledge that seems inappropriate for their age

Talk openly with children about their online experiences and remind them that they can always come to you - without fear of punishment or blame.

Awareness is prevention. Together, we can help keep children safe online. 💙

Did you know? 💙

Our community is fortunate to have a Children's Advocacy Center like Kids House.

When there is a concern of child abuse, every step matters. Instead of a child having to repeat their story multiple times to different people, children who come to Kids House participate in a single, child-friendly forensic interview conducted by a specially trained professional. This interview can be observed by members of the multidisciplinary team, allowing everyone involved in the investigation to receive the information they need while helping minimize additional trauma to the child.

The graphic below shows how the Children's Advocacy Center model streamlines the process, reduces re-traumatization, and brings all partners together to coordinate care for children and their families.

At Kids House, our goal is simple: help children feel safe, heard, and supported while working together to seek justice and begin the healing process.
