To understand what a Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) is, you must understand what children face without one. Without a CAC, the child may end up having to tell the worst story of his or her life over and over again, to doctors, cops, lawyers, therapists, investigators, judges, and others.

Hope Haven Children’s Advocacy Center would like to extend a huge thank you to the members of the community who supported our mission during this year’s winter campaign. “This year’s winter campaign was extremely successful, particularly given the difficulties of the past year. The funds raised go directly to providing important services to children who have been abused and also supports families in need throughout the community through some of the ongoing programs many citizens associate with Hope Haven”, says Hope Haven’s Executive Director, John James.

Parents have often heard, and used the term “stranger danger”, but do they know how to protect their children from strangers online? Omegle is a website, app, and now facebook program that advertises the ability to talk to strangers. The website was created in 2009, however, over the past year Omegle has been rising in popularity in the US. Children and adults alike are home and on the internet now more than ever due to COVID-19.
