April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Unfortunately for many children, their abuse goes unnoticed, unseen, or hidden from the public eye. Some child abuse is visible, and yet there are those who still do nothing to help.

In Mississippi, state law requires all persons to make a report when they reasonably suspect abuse, neglect or exploitation of children to the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services by calling 1-800-222-8000.
