Ind. Courts - "Delaware County ahead of the curve in addressing child abuse cases"
"Delaware County ahead of the curve in addressing child abuse cases: County's Child Advocacy Center improves communication among local agencies representing victims of child abuse," is the headline to this story by Gail Koch in today's Muncie Star-Press. A quote from the lengthy story:
Child abuse advocates say no matter how hard they try, cases of child abuse can fall through the cracks. But local officials say Delaware County is "ahead of the curve" in combating child abuse and neglect with the county's new Child Advocacy Center (CAC). Statewide, there are about 10 to 12 fully developed centers, according to McKinney, with about 400 child advocacy centers in place nationwide.Located inside the former Morrison-Mock Elementary School, Delaware County's CAC is a component of Meridian Service's Suzanne Gresham Center. Its major focus is to offer a safe environment for law enforcement and Child Protective Services to interview children involved in child abuse investigations.
