Well done “County Resident Vicki Carvey Morton“!
During the question and answer portion, county resident Vicki Morton posed a question connected to Pierceton Woods Academy, where several staff members have been arrested in connection with sexual abuse.
She asked about lawmakers’ opinions on Senate Bill 219, authored by State Senator J.D. Ford. The bill as documented in its summary on the Indiana General Assembly’s website “requires a person that contracts with the Department of Child Services (DCS) as a residential facility to immediately report any allegation of child abuse or neglect directly to DCS.”
Lawmakers indicated they were in favor of the bill.
