The Children & Family Advocacy Center works with the Benton County Multidisciplinary Team to see cases of alleged child abuse and neglect. All cases seen at the center have to be reported through the Child Abuse Hotline first. The center cannot accept walk-ins or cases that have not been reported to the hotline.
Please use the resources below to learn how to recognize and respond to suspected abuse.
Our center has two locations, Little Flock and Gentry, to serve all of Benton County. Both centers offer the services of an advocate trained forensic interviewers, the option for a medical examination, and mental health services.

Always provide as much information as possible. It’s okay to not have everything. It is not your job to investigate or gather those missing details. Allow the professionals involved to fill in those gaps. If available, you will need to know:
Alleged victim’s name, age/birthday, address, school, contact information
Alleged offender’s name, age/birthday, address, contact information
Any information regarding other victims, siblings and the person responsible for care for that alleged victim.
Allegations of abuse – remember, this is something you’ve observed, whether seen or heard, that has caused this suspicion of abuse.
Where the abuse occurred
When the abuse occurred
There is no need to question the child further in order to gather more details about the alleged abuse. This can harm the investigation, and cause more trauma for the child. Remember, after you make a hotline report, please notify local law enforcement.
