Mission

The CSS also advocates for children who are victims of abuse by providing resources and support to allow healing, growth, and the rebuilding of trust.
Purpose
The Child Safety Squad (CSS) strives to educate and empower communities to recognize and report suspected child abuse. In connection with local schools, churches, and community centers the CSS provides workshops that teach children to identify the signs of abuse and encourage students to “tell” a responsible adult. Through the slogan ” I’m Telling, children are empowered to report and stop abuse to themselves and others. The CSS provides mentoring, education, and training events that promote awareness of abuse and helps rebuild the lives of abuse victims.
