Do You Suspect Abuse?

What to do if you suspect child abuse:

Believe the child's story. Don't deny the problem or blame the child.
Stay Calm. A quiet, unhurried conversation reassures the child.
Never punish the child. Sexual abuse is the fault of the abuser.
Assure the child you still love him/her regardless of what happened.
Tell the child that he/she is safe & will not be harmed.
Don't take the law into your own hands.
Get help for the child immediately! Child abuse is a crime!

Contact your local law enforcement agency, the Department of Human Resources (DHR) or the Children's Center to report the abuse.
