Child Abuse

No person deserves to be abused, least of all children. At the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, we believe that it is the responsiblity of adults to protect children and enable them to grow up in a healthy, safe world, free from harm.

As part of the National Child Protection Training Center (NCPTC), JWRC supports the work to end child abuse, neglect and other forms of child maltreatment in three generations. Click here to learn more about NCPTC's work.

Parents facing the possibility that their children have been intentionally hurt can feel angry, helpless, frustrated, and defeated by the system. You may have questions about whether your child's experience constitutes abuse, and how to help them. You can find more information using the links on the left.

 

Don't give up.

You are not alone.
