SAN ANTONIO – With the increase in unemployment, domestic violence increasing and more families facing poverty due to COVID-19, there is a potential for an increase in child abuse and neglect in our community.
To help prevent child abuse during COVID-19, KSAT12 will be airing a KSAT Community Child Abuse Awareness Town Hall on Wednesday, April 28 from 2-3 p.m. with The Children’s Shelter. A panel of experts (names will be posted once confirmed) will answer questions live and viewers can learn the signs of abuse, how to report it and where to seek help.
