Pass this along to a friend or family member who’ll be at the pool or lake with kids this summer.

Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center is proud to have partnered with the FBI Dallas Division and 90+ law enforcement agencies across Texas on Operation Soteria Shield, a two‑month effort targeting online child exploitation.

This coordinated operation led to 276 arrests and the rescue of 89 children who were being exploited online, underscoring the power of collaboration between law enforcement, prosecutors, and child advocacy organizations.

We are grateful to our partners at FBI - Dallas, the North Texas Child Exploitation Task Force, and the North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force for their commitment to protecting children across our state.

If you suspect a child is being abused or exploited, report it immediately to law enforcement or the Texas Child Abuse Hotline at 1‑800‑252‑5400.

Throughout May, DCAC took time to celebrate the officers and investigators who help protect children every day. They walk into tough situations, hear the hardest stories, and still show up with strength and compassion for kids and families.

Last week, our MDT Coordination Team visited all of our law enforcement partner agencies to drop off tokens of appreciation as a simple way to say “we see you, and we’re grateful.”

We are so thankful for our law enforcement partners and the many ways they stand in the gap for children in our community.

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, we want to send a heartfelt thank-you to the incredible therapists at Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center. Every day, they help children and families process trauma, build coping skills, and find a path toward healing.

Their work may not always be visible to the wider community, but its impact is felt in every child and family they support. We’re so grateful for our DCAC therapists and the care, comfort, and hope they provide all year long.

We were honored to attend the Genesis Women's Shelter & Support Luncheon supporting survivors of domestic violence.

It was especially meaningful to hear from Mariska Hargitay, whose advocacy continues to elevate awareness and inspire action for those impacted by violence and trauma.

Thank you to Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support for hosting such a powerful event—and to Texas Capital for the invitation. We’re grateful to stand with organizations that are making a difference in our community every day.
