Aaron Blank, the Abuse Guardian attorney in Salisbury, Maryland, is announcing a new awareness campaign to encourage survivors, families, and anyone aware of boarding school sexual abuse to report and seek legal help - an often overlooked legal obligation under Maryland law.

The announcement comes as figures show that child sexual abuse remains heavily under-reported - and the declining rates may not be telling the full story. Less than four in ten child victims disclose their abuse, even though children are more frequently victims of abuse than adults. With the consequences becoming increasingly severe the more the abuse goes on, Aaron Blank is urging the public to report sexual abuse as early as possible.
"In Maryland, anyone who suspects child abuse or neglect is required by law to report it," explains Aaron. "Contact your local Department of Social Services or the Child Protective Services (CPS) hotline at 1-800-332-6347. You can do this anonymously if you prefer."
For parents of children who have been abused, Aaron recommends documenting the abuse as closely as possible, and taking extensive notes of what the child remembers about the abuse - data which will be essential during investigation. Contacting a child abuse lawyer immediately should also be a priority to ensure that adequate steps are taken to bring the responsible party or parties to justice.
As part of the Abuse Guardian network of sexual abuse attorneys dedicated to empowering victims to seek justice and get full compensation, Aaron offers complete legal solutions for boarding school abuse survivors in Maryland, with free, no-obligation consultations available.
"We firmly believe in every survivor's right to healing and justice, and we are here to assist in their journey," said Aaron. "If you or a loved one has been a victim of boarding school abuse in Maryland, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are ready to listen, help, and guide you through this process, ensuring that your voice is heard, and your rights are protected."
