Case types
I – VCases we take
II
Sexual exploitation
Sexual exploitation often involves trusted adults — teachers, clergy, youth leaders — who take advantage of their positions to harm children. These deeply traumatic cases can also involve institutional failures to protect victims or act on warning signs.
III
Neglect
Child neglect occurs when caregivers fail to provide basic needs like food, shelter, or medical care, leaving children in unsafe or unhealthy conditions.
IV
Institutional abuse
Children in schools, foster care, and other institutions are especially vulnerable to mistreatment or systemic failures. Institutional abuse can involve negligence, physical harm, or emotional trauma caused by staff or others within the system.
V
Bullying & harassment
Bullying and harassment can have lasting impacts on a child's mental and emotional health, particularly when schools or other organizations fail to intervene. These cases often involve negligence in addressing harmful behavior or providing a safe environment.
