We are Kathleen and Rob Raskin, and as the founders of StopDHR we hear from distressed families who don’t know where to turn on a regular basis. If you believe your case has been mishandled and you want to make a report, it can be difficult to know where to begin. We are sharing this list of State Liaison Officers for child abuse and neglect as a starting point on your journey toward justice. This list includes the states, territories of the US, and the District of Columbia.
