PARSIPPANY — April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Knollwood PTA and Girl Scout Troop 96623 hosted a one day event where the children came to Lake Hiawatha Library and made their own stuffed animal. Each child also made one stuffed animal that was donated to the Deirdre’s House.

Deirdre’s House is the Center in Morris County for child victims of abuse and/or neglect and for children that have witnessed domestic violence.  Established in 1994, Deirdre’s House is the only site in Morris County where a child victim can be interviewed and digitally recorded by law enforcement, medically examined and treated by a pediatric abuse specialist, prepared for trial, and clinically counseled in English or Spanish—all under one roof.

Deirdre’s House currently has about 60 to 80 children who visit their center each week. Knollwood PTA and Girl Scout Troop 96623 decided that they would like to bring some comfort to these children the best way they know how, with stuffed animals.
