The Child First Doctrine
The child is our first priority.
Not the needs of the family.
Not the child's "story."
Not the evidence.
Not the needs of the courts.
Not the needs of police, child protection, attorneys, etc.
The child is our first priority.

If a child discloses abuse to you, or if you suspect or have reason to believe a child is being abused or victimized, contact the Department of Family Services' Child Protective Services Unit Child Abuse Hotline: (703)771-KIDS (5437)
