INDIANAPOLIS — If you are looking for Taylor Swift tickets, you've got a chance right now! But they won't come cheap. 

Nonprofit Susie's Place protects children from abuse and neglect. To help fund their critical work, they are auctioning off floor tickets to Taylor Swift's Nov. 3 concert at Lucas Oil Stadium. 

As of the publishing of this this article, the bidding stood at $30,300 for two tickets. 

There are a variety of other items in the auction, including tickets to the Indianapolis Indians or 550 pounds of beef (processed however you like).

Susie's Place helps children

Susie's Place has three locations around Indiana:

Susie's place provides forensic interviews with children who have been victims of abuse, neglect and sexual assault. In the past, multiple different agencies would interview each victim. That can be traumatic for the child. 

Since being founded in 2009, Susie's Place has performed more than 11,000 forensic interviews, working with 70 different law enforcement agencies. 

The agency also offers child abuse awareness trainings for adults to help them see the signs, symptoms and effects of abuse.

Child abuse and neglect resources

If you think a child is being abused or neglected, call the DCS Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-800-5556.

If you can, provide DCS with the following information:

  • Who was involved

  • What occurred

  • When and where it occurred

  • The extent of any injuries sustained

  • Any other relevant information

Even if you don't know all that information, DCS urges you to call and report if you suspect a child is a victim of abuse or neglect. State law requires DCS to protect the identity of those reporting abuse or neglect allegations, so you can remain anonymous.

There is more information available at the Indiana Department of Child Services website.

If you would like to help victims of child abuse and neglect, Kids' Voice of Indiana has a Court-Appointed Special Advocate program. This lets volunteers advocate for child victims who don't have another trusted adult to stand up for them. You can learn more about the CASA program here. Kids' Voice estimates more than 3,100 kids in Marion County need help from a CASA volunteer.
