The Larry King Center is dedicated to a safe, healthy childhood for all children. Each year Mecklenburg County receives thousands of reports of child abuse and neglect. The impact of abuse and neglect is devastating to a child’s development and to the wider community’s quality of life.
The Larry King Center strives to raise public awareness, to bolster the community’s network of family support, and to advocate for a high level of care through child welfare systems.
