Covid-19 Resources
In times of crisis and economic insecurity, rates of child abuse and neglect increase. However, reports to Missouri’s Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline have declined dramatically during the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. When children stay at home, they are isolated from places where adults often look out for their safety and well-being including schools, child care facilities, places of worship and other public areas.
