“Has the cat got your tongue?!” Recently I heard a customer in our office use this phrase when speaking to their child and it got me wondering… do I have someone’s tongue? I certainly hope not.

This special day was part of our month-long activities supporting Child Abuse Awareness Month, in partnership with the Davis County Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse. Congrats to our winners, Zaylie Sample, Noelle Hill, […]
