SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah — At least one in seven children in the U.S. have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year, although Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill believes the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is greatly underestimated because of the lack of reporting.
"One case is far too many, let alone the volume that we see," said Gill."And I wish I could say that captured the totality of everything we do. It does not.""They need us as a community of adults," he added."I would much rather err on the side of caution and save a life than be silent and lose one." "We can avoid having them tell their stories over and over and over again to different detectives and different police officers," according to Cottam."Working as partners with Sim and his office and the Department of Child and Family Services, we are able to navigate these cases where they have to only talk to one detective and that is an environment that is safe and that is an environment where they feel comfortable.
In addition to resources available at The Children's Center, there’s something called Camp Hope, a week-long summer camp organized by the district attorney's office’s that involves trauma counselors and more for about 5 dozen victims and survivors.
