The Freddie Mac Foundation Child and Adolescent Protection Center at Children's National Health System believes that all children have the right to develop and mature in a supportive, nurturing environment and that they have the need and the right to be protected from every form of violence, victimization and neglect. When children are victimized, they must be given appropriate medical and mental health assessment and treatment with dignity, respect, and an appreciation for their emotional and intellectual maturity.
