In Medina County, there were 522 investigations of child abuse and neglect in 2008. Statistics show that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18.




The Mission of The Children's Center of Medina County is to create a respectful, safe and neutral environment that places priority on the needs of neglected and abused children while coordinating the services that promote healing and recovery.

The Children's Center of Medina County goals are:
  • to provide consistent and compassionate care and support to children and their non-offending caretaker(s).
  • to reduce the number of needed interviews for children who have experienced sexual abuse.
  • to ensure the child's entire physical health with timely medical evaluation.
  • to ensure each child receives the appropriate healthcare treatment.
  • to increase the prosecution of those who sexually abuse children.
  • to provide a family friendly place where children in foster care and their families can remain connected during their time of separation.
  • to provide youth aging out of foster care the needed life skills that allow them to become self-sufficient community members.
Advocating, Educating, and Empowering children and those who provide for them.
