The Chat Podcast Episode 18: Coronavirus (COVID-19), Domestic Abuse, and Child Abuse

The Chatham County Police Department and Savannah Police Department are seeing an increase in domestic disturbance and domestic violence cases as schools are closed and citizens shelter in place to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, with more people at home, it is more challenging to identify if a child is exhibiting signs of abuse. 

Chatham County Police Department, Savannah Police Department, The Front Porch, Chatham County Juvenile Court, and Georgia Division of Family and Children Services discuss these topics and resources available to the public to help.
