“Child Abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime”

              -Herbert Ward

 Today’s episode will hold the listeners hand as we walk you through a child abuse investigation from someone that has walked this tragic path nearly twenty years with the Dallas Police Department.

Detective Corey Foreman hired on with Dallas in 1993 and graduated in Class #238 and then quickly headed to the Northeast Division to begin his career as a rookie cop.

However, a prior internship at the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center seemingly foreshadowed the person Corey would eventually become and who he would help to protect as a Detective.

The title of Child Abuse Detective elicits cringes and concerned looks for all when they find out they are talking with someone in the Child Abuse Unit.

When it comes to crimes and solving certain types of crimes, in my opinion, there is no crime that can literally haunt the victims of those crimes and the people that investigate those crimes more than child crimes.

 This episode will detail the early stages of an investigation, the partners involved, the puzzle building, and the emotional toll these investigations can take.

We have special guest cohosts in Child Abuse Detective Kristen King and Nakisha Biglow, Director of Partner Relations of Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center. Nakisha is a former forensic interviewer and has worked with Corey and assisted the Child Abuse Unit for several years. Detective King has been with the Child Abuse Unit since 2020 and has investigated child crimes ranging from chronic physical abuse, sexual abuse, and child homicide.

 We are happy to present the Great Corey Foreman to the ATO stage.
