Lindy Batdorf Clackamas County Child Center Lindy explained to us before they had the Child Center abused children in Clackamas County had be transported into Portland to have medical examination, then to the Sheriff's Office for an interview, then to child's welfare etc. Now with the child center all of this can take place at one place. In an environment that is not threatening to the child; therefore causing less trauma. Even so the center can only take care of about half of the children that need this help. She stated one out five girls and one out of six boys will be abused.There are many children that never get reported. Many of the abusers were abused as children and didn't receive help. The hope is that these children that receive help will not grow up to abuse other children. The center has a published wish list and of course they can always use money. If you know any group that is interested in children pass on the info that the Child Center does exist. Next Page
