Frequently Asked Questions:
My child just did a forensic interview. What happens next?
Every case is different, and the time it takes to finish an investigation is different case to case. CornerHouse rarely receives updates from investigators on their ongoing investigations. Please reach out to the assigned investigator for any updates. If you lost their contact information, CornerHouse can provide it. If your family needs help in any other way, feel free to contact an advocate for assistance
My child has been displaying some concerning behavior, but says nothing is wrong. What do I do?
It's important to address any behaviors you find concerning. Working with a professional therapist is one of the best methods for helping your child identify any reasons for the behavior, or, through a great therapy relationship, the child may open up if something is wrong. It's important not to pry children with excessive questions. Allow them to tell you if anything is wrong on their own time.
My child has disclosed some maltreatment concerns. How do I make a report?
There are a few ways to make a report. You can call 911, walk into your nearest police station and file a report, and/or contact your county's Child Protective Services phone number to file a report. Keep in mind, you can make your report anonymous if needed.
I want my child to have a CornerHouse interview because I think someone might be mistreating them, can I schedule one?
Unfortunately, families cannot call and schedule our interview services. All forensic interviews done at CornerHouse are a part of an ongoing investigation. Child Protective Services and Law Enforcement are the only ones who can schedule an interview. If you think your child is being maltreated, please contact your local police and/or CPS to file a report.
Do you have therapy resources for my traumatized child?
Yes. CornerHouse offers therapy for children up to age 17. One of our advocates will be able to add you to their waitlist. For other therapy options, search "child trauma therapists near me" to find agencies that specialize in trauma response in children. One of our advocates can also provide you with other recommendations.
