Think about it. If these statistics are true, look around your workplace or classroom or wherever else you may happen to be right now. Children become adults - you are surrounded by abuse survivors. You may be one yourself. If you need help, reach out to us.

Parents - you gave your child their own smartphone. What a tremendous responsibility you now have! Too many parents don't regularly inspect what their child is doing with their phone, or who they are interacting with online. That's exactly what cyber predators are counting on.

3. Monitor their online activity without invading their privacy: Keep an eye on their online behavior using parental control tools while respecting their personal space.

4. Teach them to never share personal information with strangers online: Emphasize the importance of keeping details like their name, address, or school private.

If this anonymous call hadn't been made, this child would just be another statistic.

Police said on Sept. 5, around 1:30 p.m., officers and Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) responded to a home on 24th Street to do a welfare check on a five-year-old girl. When they arrived, they found Crystal Kates, 37, and Torrance Boles, 50, under a tent, drinking beer without their child with them, according to police.

Authorities said when they went inside the home, they found the girl alone in a room with a baby gate blocking the bedroom door. The girl's hair was matted with debris and food, and she was wearing a "heavily soiled" diaper. She was also unable to speak.

Investigators said they found dirty twin mattresses, a box spring on the floor, and a partially torn, dirty sheet. There were no clothes in the closet or in the dresser, and no blankets or pillows. Kates and Boles tested positive for THC, cocaine, and alcohol while investigators were at the home.

After assessing the conditions, DCF determined the conditions were severe enough to remove the girl from the home and place her with a family member in Manatee County. She was also evaluated at the Child Protection Center, and staff there determined she was a victim of medical neglect and abuse.

On Sept. 11, police arrested Kates and Boles and charged them each with one count of child neglect without great bodily harm.

KIds aging out of foster care are often left with no support to help them navigate the world they now find themselves thrown into. Many fall prey to human trafficking and substance abuse when they no longer have an adult to guide them. While this flyer is specifically for #KidsCentral, which serves the 5th Judicial Circuit in Florida (Marion, Citrus, Lake, Sumter, and Hernando counties), these needs are nationwide. Check with your local foster agency to see how you can help.

If you live in this area and want to help, contact Kids Central Housing Specialist, Brittany Dean, at:

Abused children are hurt by those closest to them, the ones that they know and trust, the ones that are supposed to love and protect them...who do they have to count on if not you?

Get involved. Donate what you can, volunteer your time, or just spread the word that standing by when you suspect a child is at risk is no longer an acceptable option.
