Protecting Kids

Children rely in the adults in their lives to keep them safe. Whether it’s providing constant supervision to an infant while she is in the bath, making a fire escape plan with your family, talking to your children about safe and unsafe touches or making a call to the Child Abuse Hotline if you believe a child may be suffering from abuse or neglect, everyone plays a role in ensuring children grow up happy and healthy.
