Child Safety Center

Help. Hope. Heal. Because it shouldn't hurt to be a kid. The center has three goals:

1. The child is interviewed by a specially trained forensic interviewer.

Provide a child-friendly, safe, and secure environment for children who may have been sexually or otherwise seriously abused. They are assisted with the interview by State Police, local law enforcement, the Sheriff Office, DHS medical and mental health professionals.

2. Provide whatever needed services or referrals to assist the child and non offending family members in the recovery process

3. Partner with community agencies to promote education, awareness and prevention programs through school-based programs, community events and fundraisers

When a teenager came through our doors with zero family by her side, our staff stayed steady and committed — making sure she was heard, supported, and safe.

It was well past 10 p.m., and the forensic interview alone had stretched beyond three hours. It was one of those intense cases that took everything from the team.

So it became a call-in pizza kind of night.

Our center was brightened—literally and figuratively—by a beautiful surprise delivery of flowers. Gestures like this remind us how deeply our community cares for our team as we care for the children and families we serve.

A simple act of kindness can make a tough day a little lighter. Thank you to the team at Good Measure Market for bringing beauty and encouragement into our space and for standing with us in support of children. 💛

When therapy ends, we celebrate! The kid gets full control, from the theme and food to the music playing.

For many of the kids we serve, this is a powerful contrast to how they first arrived, when their voice, needs, and choices were not respected. Graduation is one intentional way we give that power back and honor how far they’ve come.

Friends and family are invited, we spend time doing their favorite activity together, they receive gifts (from generous donors) and they get a send-off with staff and dogs lining the halls, playing their favorite song!

This client chose “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters, which was the perfect anthem of transformation and resilience. We are so proud of our golden graduate and truthfully a little sad to see her go 💛

Recently, our SANE nurse, Wendy Davenport, completed her 200th sexual assault medical exam since joining us in January 2023.

While this number reflects a heartbreaking reality—that so many children have experienced sexual abuse—it also represents the depth of experience, skill, and compassion Wendy brings to every child she serves. Each case is unique, and with every exam, her knowledge and expertise continue to grow, ensuring kids receive the very best care during such a difficult time.

We are grateful for Wendy’s dedication and the critical role she plays in bringing hope and healing to children and families. 💙

Have you ever heard of an escape room? It’s a fun challenge where you solve puzzles to break free. But for some kids, there is no escape—it’s their reality.

NoEscapeRoom.org is an interactive video experience by MissingKids.org that puts you in the shoes of a child being manipulated and exploited online. It reveals how predators operate and the terrifying situations children can find themselves in.

This powerful tool raises awareness about online exploitation and equips viewers with knowledge to recognize warning signs and protect children. We encourage you to watch and share it—it could help save a child.”

At the Child Safety Center of White County, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

Through Arkansas’ Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach, we work closely with our partners to ensure children receive coordinated, compassionate, and trauma-informed care.

Our MDT works as a team. The team is able to share information, reduce duplication, and keep the child’s well-being at the center of every decision.

We are grateful to be part of Arkansas' MDT network and proud of the strong partnerships that allow us to better support children and families. Together, collaboration makes a difference.

🤍 Grateful for the ones who sustain the mission. 🤍

Today, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to those who joined our Sustainer’s Circle by becoming new monthly partners in 2025. Monthly partners are truly the backbone of the Child Safety Center—they faithfully sustain this work each and every month.

Our big dream for 2025 was to welcome 25 new families through our 25 in 25 campaign. Because of this incredible community, 30 new families joined our Healing Hands Community and became part of our Sustainer’s Circle!

Thank you doesn’t feel big enough to express how grateful we are. Your faithfulness is making a daily difference in the lives of children, providing stability, healing, and hope. We are deeply thankful for your belief in this mission and for standing with us to protect, empower, and restore children in our community. 💛

If you’ve been following along with us for any length of time, you’ve likely seen the many handprints on our walls. Each child who comes through our doors is given the opportunity to add their handprint—a small but powerful way to mark their courage and presence.

These handprints serve as a constant reminder of the lives we have touched, and the lives that have touched us, throughout the years. Each one represents a child, a story, and a step toward healing.

Each child that receives a medical exam at the Child Safety Center receives a blanket.

This may seem trivial yet a blanket is more than just fabric. It symbolizes warmth, comfort, protection, and love—a tangible expression of care, belonging, and support.

At its most basic, a blanket offers physical and emotional soothing, like a gentle hug when it’s needed most. It becomes a shield against the cold, representing safety and refuge, and a reminder that no one stands alone. To wrap someone in a blanket is to wrap them in the support of a community—quietly saying, you are seen, you are cared for, and you are safe here.

THANK YOU to all of the students and families of CrossPointe Preparatory for their donation of blankets which we all now know, is actually way more than just blankets.

One drawer full. Another drawer opened.

This is not just a filing cabinet—it’s a cabinet of medical files, each one representing a child who has come through our doors for a forensic medical exam following sexual abuse or assault.

Today, we closed one drawer—completely full. And we opened a new one. A fresh drawer that, over time, will begin to fill with more charts, more names, more stories of children impacted by abuse.

Moments like these are sobering. They are a stark reminder of the ongoing and relentless battle we fight every day to protect and support children. Turning to a new drawer feels like turning a new chapter in that battle—a chapter we wish we never had to write.

Thank you for bearing witness. Thank you for standing with us.
