Mercy Child Advocacy Center
The Mercy Child Advocacy Center provides a comprehensive,
coordinated approach in response to allegations
of child abuse. Children who may have been abused or who are witness to violent
crime are referred to our Center by the Arkansas State Police, Division of Children
and Family Services or law enforcement, for a videotaped forensic interview,
and evidentiary exam. At the CAC, specially trained child interviewers, investigators,
law enforcement and medical personnel form a team to make decisions about investigation
treatment and prosecution of child abuse cases. This approach proposes that
children receive child--focused services in a child-friendly environment-one
in which a child's needs come first. For more information please call 501-622-2531.
