Morgan County Child Advocacy Center

You’re their voice.

If you work with children as a teacher, nurse, counselor, coach, etc. you’re legally required to report suspected abuse or neglect.

🧠 You don’t need proof, just reasonable concern.

📞If you suspect abuse or neglect, call DHR and/or law enforcement. Please don't do your own investigation before calling them.

💗One report can start the process of safety and healing.

When you speak up, you protect a child.

Every child deserves a safe, loving home. 🩵

Morgan County DHR is seeking foster parents and is hosting an orientation on Thursday, September 10 at 6:00 PM.

📞 To learn more or register, call 256-301-8641.

Can your child name 5 trusted adults they can turn to if they ever feel unsafe, scared, or uncomfortable? One of the most important body safety skills children can learn is identifying trusted adults they know they can talk to. These should be safe adults who will listen, believe them, and take action to help.

Encourage your child to think of 5 trusted adults, both at home and at school, and remind them:
💙 If the first person can't help, keep telling another trusted adult until someone does.
💙 They will never be in trouble for speaking up about something that doesn't feel right.
💙 Their voice matters, and they deserve to feel safe.

As the new school year begins, it's the perfect time to have age-appropriate conversations about body safety. Body safety conversations don't have to be scary, they can empower children with confidence, boundaries, and the knowledge to speak up when something doesn't feel right.

This back-to-school season, the Morgan County CAC wants to help every child feel safe, respected, and heard!
