Who We Are
Wade Knox Children's Advocacy Center is a 501(c) 3 organization that serves children ages 3 to 18. It serves children and families residing in Lonoke, Prairie, Monroe, and Western Phillips counties.
Unfortunately, many do not believe that child abuse exists in these rural counties. However, this is not the case. Since the opening of the Wade Knox Children’s Advocacy Center in 2005, there have been over 4,000 reported allegations of child abuse in these Arkansas counties. These reports include abuse in various forms such as: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or being a witness to a crime. Sadly, it is very common for cases of abuse to never be reported at all.

The Wade Knox Story
