Child Abuse Network Inc.

Child Abuse Network Inc., doing business as Child Advocacy Network, is a Tulsa-based tax-exempt non-profit organization that provides forensic interviews, victim advocacy, case coordination, and expert witness services to federal agencies as a grant sub-recipient (90% of recent awards) and as a prime contractor on a sole expert witness engagement with the U.S. Attorney's Office. The organization operates as part of Tulsa County's Multidisciplinary Child Abuse Team and serves between 1,600 and 2,000 children annually in child abuse investigations within the county.

Child Abuse Network's federal footprint is concentrated in Department of Justice grant sub-awards. The top three funding entities account for 70% of recent award volume: the DOJ Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program (3 awards), the DOJ Office of Justice Programs Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (3 awards), and the U.S. Attorney's Offices (1 award worth $2 thousand). The combined potential value across all ten awards in the source data is $2 thousand, though the source reports $590 thousand in combined dollars obligated, indicating significant sub-award funding beyond the small contract ceiling value. The organization's single prime contract award is a $2,445 time-and-materials purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Office for expert witness services in the federal criminal case U.S. v. Tennison, et al., running from February 4, 2026 through February 3, 2027.

Child Abuse Network acts as a sub-recipient under two primary federal grant programs. The Oklahoma District Attorneys Council serves as the prime grantee for multiple sub-awards focused on forensic interview and victim advocacy services (most recent awards dated October 2023, October 2024, and December 2025), with the organization providing personnel for investigation coordination, crisis intervention, forensic interviews, medical evaluations, mental health assessments, and family advocacy. The National Children's Alliance Inc. is the prime grantee for three sub-awards related to victims of child sexual abuse materials and core direct Children's Advocacy Center services (awards dated April 2022, January 2023, and January 2025). The organization staffs these programs with an Intake Coordinator, a Bilingual Client Relations Specialist, three Family Advocates, managers of family advocacy and forensic services, and three Forensic Interviewers. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Child Abuse Network does not hold parent IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles and competes exclusively through grant sub-awards and the single expert witness contract under full-and-open procurement.
