When a child comes to ChildSafe to share their story, feeling safe, heard and supported matters.

One safe conversation can change a child's future. 🗣️A forensic interview helps a child tell their story safely, once, and with care. Conducted in a child-friendly space by one of our specially trained bilingual forensic interviewers, these interviews are often the first step towards justice and healing.

At ChildSafe, we know healing happens when a community comes together around children and families. 💙 This month, we were honored to celebrate the The Harvey E. Najim Charitable Foundation at our inaugural Heart of Courage Award Luncheon for its extraordinary commitment to children in Bexar County. Under the leadership of Board Chairman Harvey Najim, generosity and compassion continue to have a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

In this month's LinkedIn ChildSafe article, our President & CEO, Randy McGibeny, reflects on the importance of collective action in creating safer, healthier futures for children and in strengthening the support systems families need to thrive.

We encourage you to read the article, watch the tribute video, and join us in advancing a safer, stronger future for every child.

Early this month, ChildSafe hosted our inaugural Heart of Courage Award luncheon, honoring the Harvey E. Najim Charitable Foundation.

⚠️ Online risks facing children continue to grow.

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), reports of online enticement increased by 158% in 2025, rising from 546,333 reports in 2024 to more than 1.4 million reports in just one year.

Online enticement occurs when an offender uses the internet to manipulate, solicit, or coerce a child for sexual purposes. This alarming increase highlights why it is so important for parents, caregivers, and professionals to stay informed about online safety and exploitation risks.

We're proud to announce that ChildSafe was selected as one of 22 organizations across the country to receive a 2025 Stewards of Children® Advocacy Award from Darkness to Light!

This support will help us continue providing prevention education and training that equips adults to recognize, prevent, and respond to child abuse.

Summer is a time when children often have more independence and less supervision, making it especially important that caring adults know how to keep kids safe. Every child deserves a network of trusted adults looking out for them.

Thank you to Darkness to Light for your generous investment and your commitment to creating safer communities for children everywhere.
