NY: Child Abuse Increase Seen In Oswego County
Oswego County Today – March 08, 2017
“I think there’s a really big correlation between poverty and child abuse,” Christine Patrick, the director of services at the DSS, said. “People have a hard time meeting their own needs and subsequently have a hard time meeting their children’s needs. They turn to other things, such as self-medicating, which in turn leads to drug use.”
