What are You Doing to Protect Children from Abuse?
The Dee Norton Lowcountry Children’s Center (DNLCC) is giving Charleston area residents knowledge and tools to keep children safe as part of its annual child abuse awareness campaign. The I believe... Campaign focuses on the belief that child abuse is a grown-up problem, and we as adults are the key to successful prevention and treatment. To protect children, adults first need to be educated about abuse.

than boys ?"

more abuse than boys.

Children are not capable of protecting themselves from abuse. Adults must be willing to accept responsibility for protecting children. If you suspect abuse you need to contact a professional or call us at
