Did you know 1 in 7 children in the US have has experienced abuse or neglect? More than 600,000 children are abused in the U.S each year. An estimated 600,000 children (unique incidents) were victims of abuse and neglect in 2021, the most recent year for which there is national data. The actual number of children abused is likely underreported because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. April is recognized nationally as Child Abuse Prevention Month. It’s not only an opportunity to highlight the work being done to protect children from abuse and neglect, but its also an opportunity to reflect on our communities and recognize the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. #WeAreHelixHumanServices #StopChildAbuse

Child abuse and neglect can happen at any time of year, and it's up to all of us to be vigilant and take action to protect children.

If you see something, say something. Let's continue to raise awareness in April — and every month – and take action to protect children from abuse and neglect.

Reporting suspected child abuse and maltreatment is the first step in the healing process for a child abuse victim. Remember - you do not have to be certain that abuse or neglect has occurred in order to make a report. It is important to always err on the side of protecting children and strengthening families by making a report and allowing the authorities to determine whether or not to investigate. In the state of Texas, EVERY adult is considered a mandated reporter by the Texas Family Code. This means, if you see something you should say something! Keep reading below for more details on how to report suspected child abuse with the proper authorities to help #keepkidssafe in your community. ... To make a report, call the Texas Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400, or if you believe a child is in immediate danger, call 911. Immediate danger includes: - A threat of imminent harm or violence to a child - The perpetrator of abuse lives in the same home as the child - A child has an injury requiring immediate medical attention - A child is contemplating self-harm, suicide, or harming another person Together, we can make a difference for the children who experience abuse in our community!
