Someone is Watching

In this Emergency story Mike Stoker is single.

When Mike Stoker moves in to a new apartment, he struggles to decide weather or not he should get involved with his neighbor. But when the neighbor comes to his rescue, he realizes she really needs a friend who is willing to get involved.

Protecting children from abuse and neglect is a community responsibility. Most adults want to help children and their families, but are unsure how to get involved. Often, it can be as simple as helping out a neighbor who needs a break by watching his or her child for a few hours. At other times, you may have more serious worries or suspicions that a child may have already been harmed or neglected. Figuring out next steps can be a difficult and confusing process. What is most important is to not let discomfort and confusion interfere with helping children be safe, even if you must reach out to others for professional help.
