In Plymouth County alone, over 500 children each year allege abuse. Each case must be investigated to ensure the child is safe from further harm. Child abuse can impact a child’s physical and mental well being. Emotionally, children can experience withdrawal, post-traumatic stress disorder, and feelings of shame, distrust and guilt. If you suspect any case involving child sexual or physical abuse and neglect, report it immediately to your local police department by calling 911, and by calling the Massachusetts Department of Social Services Abuse Hotline at 800-792-5200. |
