HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The pandemic led to a substantial decrease in forensic interviews regarding allegations of child abuse in Madison county in 2020, according to the National Children’s Advocacy Center.
The Center saw a 10 percent decline in the number of children interviewed following allegations of abuse in 2020 compared to 2019.
”Almost all of child abuse cases, especially child sexual abuse, there’s only two people who know what happened. It doesn’t happen in public and it’s not done in front of other people. There is the child and the person alleged to have done it,” said National Children’s Advocacy Center Executive Director, Chris Newlin.
