These are the individuals who must be the voice of the child.

Our current child abuse intervention strategies rely primarily on mandated reporters within our schools, health care settings, social service and law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, these agencies are not present when the abuse occurs. The prevention of child abuse ultimately occurs at the family and community level. It is our neighbors, churches, schools, friends and extended family members that need to be engaged in prevention efforts if we are able to be successful.

If you suspect abuse, call your local police department or
the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services
at 1-800-25-ABUSE (1-800-252-2873)
