Child Abuse

If a child discloses sexual abuse, it is important to believe the child. Children rarely lie about abuse. Also, stay calm. The way you respond to the child is critical to their recovery.

When a child discloses abuse, they need to hear the following affirmations:

1. it is not their fault
2. they did the right thing by telling someone
3. you are sorry this happened to them,
4. they are very brave, and
5. he or she will be safe now.

If the abuse took place within the family unit, by a family member, contact
Child Protective Services at 223-6550 or after hours at 223-1975.

If the abuse took place outside the family unit or outside of the home (or if you are unsure), contact local law enforcement by calling 911.

Remember, you can always call our 24 hour help line at (209) 223-2600 or
(800) 675-3392.
