Dedicated to helping victims of child sexual abuse in Baltimore City…

In 1987, the Baltimore Child Abuse Center (BCAC) opened in response to growing awareness that children who had been sexually abused were not only victims by the acts that had been done to them, but were then re-victimized by a lengthy and often repetitive investigative process. BCAC developed a coordinated response that has resulted in timely, child-sensitive investigations of child sexual abuse in Baltimore City.


…working to end child sexual abuse throughout Maryland.

BCAC is committed to ending child sexual abuse in Maryland. It can be done if we, as adults, learn more about this crime of secrecy and take responsibility for protecting our children. At BCAC we know far too well that children cannot protect themselves from sexual predators and need their families and communities to step in and protect them from abuse.
