Each state may have different laws and procedures, so it's crucial to familiarize yourself with those specific to your area.

Advocacy can include reaching out to local representatives or participating in community initiatives that push for improved protections and rights for children.

Provide Support to Organizations: Engage with and support organizations dedicated to helping abused and foster children, whether through donations, volunteering, or raising awareness.
