The Wisconsin Alliance for Drug Endangered Children (WIDEC) is a multi-disciplinary partnership that supports communities in assessing service needs, coordinating efforts and keeping children safe and free from the exposure to dangerous drug environments.

WIDEC defines ‘Drug Endangered Child’ as Any child, born or unborn,* at risk of neglect, or sexual or physical abuse, or emotional abuse, or mental harm by the parent’s or caregiver’s use, distribution or manufacture of any controlled substance or the parent’s or caregiver’s failure to protect the child from the exposure to the use, distribution or manufacture of any controlled substance.

*(As defined by Wisconsin Statute 940 and Chapter 48)

Community involvement from everyone is essential. WIDEC realizes that statewide awareness and involvement go hand in hand. Together we can proactively work as a team to send the message that Wisconsin values the safety of children, and will not accept child neglect, physical, emotional or sexual abuse due to drugs.
