In the past few days, I came across two troubling stories on social media. One involved a video showing children left alone outside late at night with no adult supervision.
Thankfully, caring members of the Rochester community stepped in and contacted the police. These situations could have ended in tragedy, but quick action helped keep the children safe.
If you or someone you know is struggling to care for a child, please know that help is available. Rochester is a city full of resources and support for families.
One key resource is the Family Access and Connection Team (FACT), which helps connect families to the services they need.
