AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the critical work of Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) in addressing child abuse and maltreatment in South Carolina, officially designating Wednesday, April 15, 2025, as Children's Advocacy Center Day. The resolution highlights that in 2024, CACs in South Carolina served 13,784 child victims of abuse, representing a three-percent increase from 2023, with sexual abuse being the most common form of reported maltreatment. The resolution notes that children also suffer from physical abuse, neglect, drug endangerment, commercial sexual exploitation, and psychological maltreatment. It emphasizes that CACs aim to model and deliver excellence in child abuse response and prevention through direct service, education, collaboration, and leadership. Additionally, the resolution calls attention to the broader national context, with over 380,000 children served by CACs nationwide each year. As a symbolic gesture, the South Carolina General Assembly seeks to underscore the growing problem of child abuse and its serious impact on citizens. The resolution also includes a provision to present a copy of the resolution to Thomas Knapp, President and CEO of the South Carolina Network of Children's Advocacy Centers.
