Privacy matters, but secrecy is different. Private, secretive chats, especially one‑on‑one and late at night, are a common grooming tactic, online and offline. Knowing the red flags means you don’t have to hover or pry. .

We’re proud to partner with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) this month to help adults spot grooming early and keep kids safe.

April 14 has some fun National Days, and I think that these really indicate it is time to get outside and enjoy the Spring weather. Now, with the typical Midwest weather, it may be difficult to look up at the sky or garden tonight, but we hope you have a wonderful Spring day. If you garden, what is your favorite part of gardening? Do you enjoy the planting, care, or the beautiful blooms? We have had many years of beautiful flowers thanks to the hard work of the green thumbs here at the center.

On Thursday, April 9th, Governor Reynolds signed into law SF2416. The passage of this law will not only have a positive impact on children to ensure they receive the services they need, but it also allows for best practices to be followed in the state of Iowa. This ensures:

🔹Children can be interviewed by a specially trained Forensic Interviewer
🔹Allows for the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) Model to be followed, utilizing a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach that reduces the amount of times children will have to recount traumatic details
🔹Provides better collaboration in investigations of child abuse

Thank you Governor Kim Reynolds for seeing the value in this bill and for protecting children!

About Us

​During the 1990's, the Quad City community recognized a lack of access to medical services related to child abuse assessments. Despite the fact that the Quad Cities had 39 pediatricians, physically and / or sexually abused children were being sent an hour and a half away to Cedar Rapids or Peoria for medical attention, or worse yet, not being seen at all. Since 2001, Dr. Barbara Harre had been able to devote her further training and practice activities to meeting this need. Established in 2006, the Child Protection Response Center (CPRC) is part of the multidisciplinary protection response team in Scott County. This team is comprised of law enforcement, prosecution, child protection (DHS/DCFS) and medical team members. Our goal is to be able to mobilize a coordinated response to address a child and families concern when a child is being maltreated.

In February 2010, Dr. Harre became aboard certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics in the sub specialty of child neglect and maltreatment. ​

​​In 2015, Child Protection Response Center became an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance.
