Abuse Information & Answers
Child sexual abuse is the
exploitation or coercion of a
child. Child sexual abuse
involves a continuum of behavior
that ranges from verbal,
non-physical abuse to forcible
touching offenses. It can range
from a single encounter with an
exhibitionist, to confusing
occasional fondling by a casual
acquaintance, to years of
ongoing abuse by a relative or
family member, to rape and/or
exploitation through
prostitution and pornography...

In January
2009,
Assistant
City Editor
Mark Boxley
(The Daily
Times)
undertook a
six-month
fellowship
with the
Kiplinger
Program in
Public
Affairs
Journalism
at The Ohio
State
University.
The digital
media
project he
completed
during the
fellowship
centered on
the
societal,
economic and
personal
effects of
drug abuse
in Blount
County.

I came across this story
while searching the subject of mental and physical
abuse. The reason for my search was that I have seen
so many young women living in fear of an abusive or
threatening boyfriend or spouse. Over the years of
watching friends of my kids from their early years
in kindergarten, on to high school and beyond I have
known many to become involved in abusive
relationships with many of them feeling there is no
way out.

Denominations
& Faiths
Many
of our local
churches
have
ministries
that may
serve to
meet your
needs. As
this site is
built I hope
to have
these broken
down by
categorizing
the types of
help or aid
available
from each
church. |
|
|
There are many
faiths represented
in this web site.
And even though some
differ in beliefs I
will not exclude
them based upon my
own convictions. My
prayer is that those
seeking aid will
find not only find
spiritual comfort
but find relief for
their immediate
burdens be they
physical, mental or
spiritual.

TO REPORT
MISSING
CHILDREN
INFORMATION
The
Tennessee
children
listed on
this site do
not
represent
all missing
children in
the state.
Many cases
are resolved
before
reports are
received by
TBI and
reports are
not received
consistently
from across
the state.
The children
posted here
are parental
abductions,
children
considered
at risk and
those cases
which
publication
would best
serve.

CHILDREN |

It’s nearly
unthinkable,
but every
year
thousands of
children
become
victims of
crime—whether
it’s
kidnappings,
violent
attacks, or
sexual
abuse. The
mission of
our Crimes
Against
Children (CAC)
program is
threefold:
first, to
decrease the
vulnerability
of children
to sexual
exploitation;
second, to
develop a
nationwide
capacity to
provide a
rapid,
effective,
and measured
investigative
response to
crimes
|
|
|
against children;
and third, to
enhance the
capabilities of
state and local law
enforcement
investigators
through programs,
investigative
assistance, and task
force operations... |

The AMBER
Alert System
is an early
warning
program
designed to
help quickly
locate
abducted
children in
local
communities.
It works
like this:
following an
abduction,
law
enforcement
notifies
broadcasters
and
transportation
officials,
who
interrupt
transmissions
to get the
word out.
AMBER stands
for
America's
Missing:
Broadcast
Emergency
Response and
was created
in Texas as
a legacy to
9-year-old
Amber
Hagerman...
