Mission Statement
Children’s Center’s mission is to support and medically assess children who are suspected victims of abuse or neglect.
Description
Children's Center is a medical evaluation center for children suspected to be victims of abuse or neglect. Children are referred to the Center from law enforcement agencies, child protective workers, parents, teachers, doctors and others concerned for the welfare of a child.
Forensic Medical Assessments
Comprehensive head-to-toe exam to determine and document a child’s health and safety by Medical Examiners trained in diagnosing child abuse and neglect. Medical exams provided for children identified under Karly’s Law. Oregon state law requires investigative agencies to seek a medical evaluation within 48 hours for children who are found to have suspicious physical injuries. Drug screening for children endangered by exposure to drug use, distribution, or manufacturing. Screenings include urinalysis and hair testing.
Forensic Interviewing Services
Videotaped forensic interviews with Child Interviewers specially trained to talk to children of all ages and developmental levels. Child Interviewers work with the Medical Examiners as part of the medical evaluation.
