Child Abuse

Child abuse, whether physical, emotional, or sexual, is a horrible life altering experience for the child and even for the perpetrator.

All too often someone who is upset does not know where to turn to get help before they hurt a child. And even a witness to child abuse may not know where to turn to get help for the child.
