April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
04/12/2021
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Sadly, physical and sexual abuse of children happens even right here in Navarro County. The Navarro County Child Advocacy Center is a great partner with our law enforcement agencies in providing services to victims and assisting with prosecution of these serious crimes. Over the past five years 124 felony cases have been filed for sexual abuse of children in Navarro County courts. Unfortunately, many more abusive situations go unreported. If you have any information about a child being abused or neglected please report it to your local police or the Child Abuse hotline at (800) 252-5400. Reporting child abuse is the right thing to do and failing to do so can be a crime under the Texas Penal Code
