The CACCC helps abused children feel
 

by the system that is meant to protect them.

A Children’s Advocacy Center is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization supported by a local community that provides a child-friendly, non-institutional forensic interview to children that allege abuse. CAC’s also help to coordinate all local agencies that take a role in the investigation, prosecution, and treatment of child abuse cases.

1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

Only 1 in 10 will tell.

Over 40,000 of those children tell what happened to them at

advocacy centers every year in Texas.

247 of those children live in Comal County, Texas.

Are you one with courage enough to help?

For more information, call the CACCC at 830 626 2543.
