\u201cLaw enforcement officials are teaming up with social services experts to investigate and more effectively prosecute child sexual abuse in North Carolina day-care facilities….<\/p>\n
\u201cState Bureau of Investigation Director Charles Dunn said… the goal is to train up to 300 individuals in the state\u2019s largest cities.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the protocol, agencies in counties would establish guidelines for interagency task forces. Each task force would include an investigative unit and a resource unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe typical investigative unit would include a child protective services social worker, law enforcement officer, consultant from the state day-care licensing agency and an SBI agent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe resource unit might include medical personnel, SBI lab experts, mental health workers and representatives of the attorney general\u2019s and local district attorney\u2019s offices…<\/p>\n
\u201cThe General Assembly (this year required) SBI notification within 24 hours of any report of sexual abuse in a day-care setting. \u2018The Little Rascals case really just helped to focus the public\u2019s and the legislature\u2019s attention,\u2019 \u201d Dunn said.<\/p>\n
\u2013 From the Associated Press, July 21, 1992<\/em><\/p>\n I suppose this massive response by the state could be described as closing the barn door after the horse is out \u2013 except, of course, for the absence of a horse in the first place.<\/p>\n Two decades have passed since all that staff training, protocol drafting and attention focusing, but apparently the state\u2019s interagency task forces are still waiting to be activated for the next day-care ritual abuse case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 18, 2012 \u201cLaw enforcement officials are teaming up with social services experts to investigate and more effectively prosecute child sexual abuse in North Carolina day-care facilities…. \u201cState Bureau of Investigation Director Charles Dunn said… the goal is to train up to 300 individuals in the state\u2019s largest cities. \u201cUnder the protocol, agencies in counties […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=569"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2511,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions\/2511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.littlerascalsdaycarecase.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
