Child Protective Services doing more

Child Protective Services doing more

The number of people reporting suspected child abuse in Mesa County, and the number of cases being investigated by the county, have increased in the past couple of months.

The increases show that some of the county’s recent efforts have paid off, Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland said. People are becoming more aware of the issue and more comfortable with the county’s system of child protective services, she said.

Note: But that will change once enough people experience an investigation.
