Choosing not to report suspected abuse is not just a missed opportunity, it's against the law. Failure to report can mean jail time for you.

This isn’t happening somewhere else. It’s happening here and most of the abuse is happening inside the home, by someone the child knows and depends on. Child abuse is preventable, but only if we’re willing to face what’s real.

When we send our kids to school, camp, practice, or after-school care, we trust that the adults in charge are keeping them safe. But too often, safety protocols are reactive instead of proactive.

In 2024, 783 children in Lubbock County were confirmed victims of abuse, a stark reminder of the urgent need for awareness and action.
