Ensuring Child Advocacy Centers are the best place for investigating crimes against kids
When children in Indiana disclose an allegation of abuse, neglect, sexual assault, or are witnesses to a crime, law enforcement and DCS turn to Child Advocacy Centers. The Indiana Chapter of NCA helps empower CACs to be the best place for kids to talk about their experiences in a safe, neutral, child-friendly environment.
