In the United States, three children die each day as a result of abuse or neglect.  Children under five years of age account for 85% of these deaths.  During 2008, there were 1,583 reported cases of child sexual abuse in Benton County.

 Our mission is to stop this.  However, when it does occur we exist to provide a safe place for victims and their families to receive comprehensive services from dedicated professional interviewers, nurses, counselors and advocates in a child-friendly atmosphere through a coordinated team approach.
