“It is important to know that we expect child abuse cases to increase the longer that this pandemic lasts," says Doug Staley, Executive Director of the Child Protection Center. "Nationally, child abuse spiked during the recession of 2008-2009. We want to try to avoid repeating this. The coronavirus has placed the most vulnerable children of our community at greater risk than ever.”  The danger of children being placed in risky situations increases every daythe health crisis persists. Families are facing mounting stress, financial uncertainty, unemployment, and health concerns, while children spend their entire days in the home and without access to their schools or other safe places.
