Team approach aids Lawrence County child abuse cases
Lawrence County uses a multidisciplinary team to investigate and prosecute sexual abuse and child abuse cases involving children. In two years, 200 charges filed, 65 dispositions pending, 130 of 135 remaining cases resulted in guilty pleas or convictions. The system reduces delays, avoids multiple agency contacts, and eases trauma for victims while keeping cases active in the tracking system.
