The Carousel Center for Abused Children

Our mission is committed to providing a child friendly environment to the abused and neglected children and to support child abuse prevention efforts in Southeastern North Carolina.

The Carousel Center is a non-profit organization committed to assisting victims of child abuse, providing critical care services to children from approximately eight counties throughout southeastern North Carolina. Referrals are made through law enforcement, social services and physicians. Last fiscal year , the center provided services to 227 children ages newborn -17 with allegations of sexual & physical abuse.  Of those, 82% of the children seen were 11 years old or younger, with the most common age in FY 12 being only five years old,  78% had allegations of sexual abuse and 27 children presented with a combination of sexual & physical abuse.
