Sinopsis
With so many people out of work and staying home, children who were already in a bad situation could be even more vulnerable right now. And because they don't have teachers or coaches checking on them in person every day, child advocates fear more instances of child abuse could be happening behind closed doors, without being reported. Abbie Newman is the CEO of Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center in East Norriton, PA. She joins KYW In Depth to talk about warning signs you need to keep your eyes out for and resources for people who think they know about a child who is being abused. "If you are next door to a family and you hear something or see something that kind of makes you think, 'I wonder if that child is safe. What's going on over there? I'm concerned.' People still have eyes, they just just need to use them more at this point. And everybody needs to consider themselves a mandated reporter. If you think you are seeing something, call the state's childline hotline." - Abbie Newman Links to resources w
