Protect vulnerable adults in South Carolina needs funding boost
Guest editorial calls for stronger support for Adult Protective Services as SC faces rising vulnerable adult cases. It notes flat funding since 2013, with only 4.4 million annual dollars and 12 percent state funding, while Child Protective Services nearly doubles its budget to 111 million. DSS and LAC criticisms highlight gaps in investigation and reporting, urging legislative action, a central registry bill, and higher priority for adult protection.
