“While one case of child drug endangerment or death is too many, we are sadly seeing this occurring on a far too frequent basis,” says Kenneth McKinley, director of Childhelp Children's Center of Arizona. Recently, McKinley says, a mother and her children were staying in a motel with her boyfriend when she noticed her three-year-old wasn’t breathing. The paramedics arrived and administered Narcan to the child, who is expected to make a full recovery. The boyfriend, who sold fentanyl, fled and the mother was charged with child abuse. Read more about this disturbing trend and the steps we can take to address it.

Recalling the details of abuse can be difficult, if not traumatic, for children. The forensic interviews done by Childhelp® are grounded in research and minimize the amount of times a child has to be interviewed.

Last night Findlay Toyota Flagstaff participated in “25 Men Who Think They Can Cook” 👨🍳 A wonderful event to support Childhelp® in their mission to end child abuse and support resources. We served up about 400 wings, met with the amazing founders (Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson), and auctioned off TWO Backyard BBQs to help raise funds! Randy Waites absolutely crushed it, and MAN, can he cook! And shoutout to our amazing Marketing Assistant, Maggie Nguyen, for capturing the moments of the evening! See y’all next year!
