That was the sad reality for nine-year-old *Olivia.<\/p>\n<p>Like many child victims of sexual abuse, Olivia felt confused and guilty \u2013 she didn\u2019t understand why her uncle would do something that made her feel so bad. And she thought it was her own fault.<\/p>\n<p>The trauma of the abuse left Olivia sad and scared. She couldn\u2019t fall asleep at night because thoughts of her uncle made her tummy hurt and her heart race.<\/p>\n<h2>One Brave Little Girl<\/h2>\n<p>One day at school, Olivia felt sick and her teacher sent her to the school nurse. When the nurse asked her what the matter was, she began to panic. She didn\u2019t have the words to describe how her uncle had hurt her.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse knew that something was very wrong. She comforted Olivia and assured her that she only wanted to help. She asked Olivia if something had happened to her. Olivia told the nurse about what her uncle had done.<\/p>\n<p>The nurse immediately reported the abuse to authorities. Olivia and her parents were brought to one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/child-advocacy-center\/\">Child Advocacy Centers<\/a> (CACs).<\/p>\n<h2>Addressing Olivia\u2019s Trauma from Child Sexual Abuse<\/h2>\n<p>At Safe Horizon, we offer hope and healing for the most innocent of victims: our children. In 1996, we became the first organization in the nation to bring child protective services, counselors, pediatricians, law enforcement, and prosecutors together under one roof. This coordinated approach allows child victims to receive expert help and avoid further trauma. At Safe Horizon\u2019s CACs, child victims and their families begin to heal.<\/p>\n<p>Our five CACs located in each borough help thousands of children like Olivia and their families each year. Olivia received counseling and she no longer has trouble sleeping and is doing well in school.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"footnote\"><em>* Client names and identifying information have been changed to protect their privacy.

This team, based at each CAC includes: child protective staff from the NYC Administration from Children\u2019s Services, detectives from the New York Police Department\u2019s Child Abuse Squad, medical professionals from premier hospitals, Assistant District Attorneys, and mental health and support staff from Safe Horizon.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1460653141_Lieutenant-Michael-Donovan-Bronx-CAC-sharp-1.png\" alt=\"Lieutenant Michael Donovan Protects and Serves Child Victims of Abuse\" width=\"697\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Lieutenant Michael Donovan, \u00a0<em><em>NYPD Commanding Officer of the Bronx Child Abuse Squad<\/em> <\/em><\/em><\/p>\r\nAt the Bronx CAC, Lieutenant Michael Donovan serves as the NYPD Commanding Officer of the Bronx Child Abuse Squad. He heads the unit compromised of 15 police officers and 2 sergeants who collect evidence, interview witnesses and subjects, make arrests when appropriate, and help ensure the child and family's safety.\r\n\r\nThroughout his years on the force, Lieutenant Donovan has seen the positive impact the CACs have made in investigating and prosecuting child abuse cases. \u201c<em>The CAC\u2019s integration of all these agencies helps make the cases run smoother, builds the relationship between the staff, and helps keep them united around a common mission.<\/em>\u201d\r\n<h2>The Real SVU<strong>\r\n<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nLieutenant Donovan\u2019s unit handles sexual abuse cases for children twelve-years-old and younger and cases of severe physical abuse for children ages ten-years-old and under. They investigate an average of 110 cases per month.\r\n\r\nA coordinated multidisciplinary team approach includes careful attention to which member of the team will conduct the initial interview with the child, called a forensic interview. These interviews are the cornerstone of a child abuse investigation, and may be the beginning of the road toward safety and healing for many children and families.\r\n\r\nDetectives appreciate that children and their impacted family members can get the support and expert services they need at a CAC, promptly and all in one place. <em>\u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of my detectives.

He decided to transfer to the SVU after investigating multiple child abuse cases. One case he will never forget involved a ten-year-old girl who was home alone and concerned neighbors called the police. She was relieved to confide in someone and tell them about how her mother had been abusing her for so long. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s been 20 years, but to this day I remember that girl and how she inspired me to help children everywhere who have been abused.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<h2>A Legacy of Hope for Abused Children<\/h2>\r\nThe opening of the Bronx CAC in February 2015, our fifth CAC, was a milestone for both New York City and Safe Horizon\u2019s efforts in fighting child abuse.
