    Family violence, sexual assault, child abuse hotlines remain active amid COVID-19 closures

    March 20, 2020

    Story by: 23ABC Digital Staff

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer announced today that hotlines for domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault will remain open for those in need.

    “Economic disruptions on the scale that we are seeing from the coronavirus pandemic can place great deal of stress on families. Unfortunately, increased pressure on families can often trigger domestic violence or child abuse. In these uncertain times, it is important for families to have guidance on issues related to these crimes and to understand the warning signs that often lead up to them,” said Zimmer.

    Crimes should still be reported to by calling 911, but dedicated hotlines can provide guidance for intervention before issues elevate to criminal conduct.

    Numbers for additional resources listed below.

    Alliance Against Family Violence – 24 Hour Crisis Hotline: (800) 273-7713

    Department of Human Services Suspected Child Abuse or Neglect: (661) 631-6000

    Family Justice Center: (661) 868-8410

    In East Kern County: Women’s Center High Desert, Inc.

    Domestic Violence: (760) 375-7525

    Sexual Assault: (760) 375-074
