Description

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth August 12, 2021 Child abuse is often a dark family secret that only a teacher or someone inside a school can discover and expose. A big conference in Dallas this week will focus, in large, on how to best identify, address and prosecute these cases. In a typical year, the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center receives around 7,000 new child abuse victims or child witnesses to crime, but Chief Operating Officer Erin Banister says the pandemic changed that. CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
