Eyes and ears open to what is happening around us. 😞
Spotting Child Abuse and Neglect after COVID-19 | The Forgotten Initiative

As we move towards the school year more kids will be seen and heard. Today’s guest, Molly Evans, talks about how to spot warning signs of abuse and neglect.I have definitely noticed the change to the foster closet, less children entering care as mandated reporters no longer have contact with the kids. I am preparing for a huge increase once school starts (either virtually or in person). 😞. Please pay attention to kids in your neighborhood.
Child Abuse and the Coronavirus: How Covid 19 may Increase the Risk of Child Abuse and Neglect

As the Covid 19, or Coronavirus pandemic, continues to keep children and families inside during this time of self isolation, more children…
It’s so scary imagining what some families and children are going through during this time... I had read a local article which stated that child abuse cases were down in brown county. A lot of people thought this was great news. Which it seems great the way the statement showed it, right? However what the article failed to share was the reason behind the statement.. kids weren’t going to school, therapy, appointments, or in the community.. therefor there were no mandated reporting. 😞
I hope and pray it’s not true, but that’s what I’ve been afraid of.
Many,many kids are safer at school. I wish there was a better way to manage the virus and keep basic supports in place - for some kids they are life lines.
