Recently, CARE House President & CEO Blythe Tyler appeared on FOX 2 Detroit to share an important message for our community: if you suspect child abuse or neglect, report it.
Abuse often involves grooming and manipulation by someone a child knows and trusts, which is why many children never disclose what’s happening. Adults must educate themselves on the warning signs—such as sudden behavior changes, withdrawal, anxiety, or age inappropriate behaviors—and take concerns seriously.
You don’t need proof to make a report. Speaking up allows professionals to assess the situation and get help to a child who may be at risk. Knowing the signs and taking action can change—and save—a child’s life.
If you suspect abuse, you can call - 855-444-3911
