Child abuse affects a significant number of children in our community. In the last 13 years, the Child Protective Investigative Team, which consists of the Child Advocacy Center, the Department of Children’s Services, law enforcement, mental health counselors, and the District Attorney’s Office, have worked together to investigate and prosecute over 9,000 child abuse cases and assisted over 12,500 individuals in Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
