Denton County Children's Advocacy Center

The Children’s Advocacy Center for Denton County, seen July 24 in Denton, is a nonprofit that fights the sexual abuse of children.

As Denton County students returned to in-person classes and even virtual learning, reports of abuse from people who work with vulnerable populations have increased, according to the Denton County Children’s Advocacy Center.

Kristen Howell, CEO of the Denton County center, said in July that they were anticipating a surge in reports when classes resumed in the fall. She said they were worried because not everyone was planning on sending their children to in-person classes where professional reporters — people who work closely with a vulnerable population — could more easily spot signs of abuse.
