Report Child Abuse

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

A reader sent me an email today about an online resource that they are promoting as part of Child Abuse Prevention month.

reportchildabuse.com

Their stated purpose:

The topic of child sexual abuse is hard to discuss and many people would rather just avoid it. We want to change that. According to estimates, only 5-10% of cases are ever reported.

Not only does the site provide a ton of information and links to resources about child abuse, and reporting child abuse, but it also has a searchable database of who to contact to report child abuse in the US.

Take a look, and keep it handy!
