Too often, our firm hears about incidents of child abuse that take place in school, at a place of worship, or in a family member’s home. If you have reason to believe that a child you know or are related to has been abused, the first step is to report the abuse. This can be done by contacting the Child and Family Services branch closest to your location, or simply by getting in touch with law enforcement if you feel comfortable doing so. Reporting child abuse can be a scary decision, especially if you’re not 100% sure that abuse occurred. However, if you suspect it has, you owe it to that child (as well as other potential future victims) to report what you have seen or heard.

Once the abuse has been reported, consider contacting Dordulian Law Group for a confidential, no-pressure consultation concerning your legal options. Retaining our firm to serve as child abuse lawyers can help the abused child secure high-quality therapy from our staff clinical therapist. Additionally, we will fight relentlessly to secure that child financial compensation for the suffering they’ve been through. And while receiving monetary damages can never take away the impact of what they’ve experienced, it can at least set them up for a brighter future and a bit of a boost in life moving forward.
