the police or to Social Services Scott to Speakman According Supervisor for Millard County Social Services there has been a steady crease of abuse cases in the county over the past twenty years He and two other Social Services workers Lyndon Callister and Pam Goodrich acknowledge that a portion of the crease has resulted from people being more willing to report In an effort to confront the child abuse problem laws have been instituted that mandate reporting and protect the reporter For instance doctors can now hold a child hours if abuse is for suspected The professionals at Social Services shoulder a bulk of the investigating four abuse cases per Approximately month are reported and each is carefulSometimes ly logged and documented cases are referred by the police At other times private citizens report is is the it made responAfter a report sibility of the agency to follow through with an investigation and to notify the reporter that an investigation is under way Agency workers determine how to investigate according to the particular case involved They are charged with pursuing the why who what and when of each case School officials notify them when bruises on a child or behaviors such as withdrawal extreme are or aggression observed Social Service workers volve the police immediately when sexual abuse is reported Medical neglect must be investigated within two weeks after the report is made The burden of proof is on Social Services In some cases of neglect the court is petitioned to remove the child from its home The county attorney represents the child and the agency when the custody of the child is in danger In abuse cases the court normally requires three to six months of counselIn sex abuse ing for the perpetrator cases two years of counseling are required Agreeing with Juvenile ProbaScott tion Officer Pete Jacobson Speakman maintains that behavior of the perpetrator does not really change unless heshe is also arrested Court ordered counseling

lack or of modeling Modeling a contributing factor for an abused child sometimes becomes abusive with other children Incest frequently occurs when families are socially isolated However it hits in all groups In Millard County as well as in other communities across the country there has been a marked increase in sex abuse more stepfathers cases Statistically than fathers are perpetrators and often the mother sides with her husband “Such situations tear me apart” admitted Supervisor Speakman Other cidents involve fathers with their sons and girls with younger children Parenting groups have been and continue to be offered by Social Services under the direction of Pam Goodrich Other services provided are temporary shelters for abused spouses and foster homes emergency and for children What

improvement The work done on Delta’s Main Street is a great improvement However some people have wondered about the immediate cutting out of portions and have asked if there couldn’t have been better planning done It was all a planned operation Earlier in the year the Delta Maintenance crew spent considerable time and money checking and renewing water and sewer connections along Main Street in anticipation of the resurfacing project Work was done to make all access to water valves and sewer manholes available so that digging up the new surface would not be necessaiy for years to come Until the road surface was completed it was impossible to tell how much the manholes and water valves would have to be raised It was more cost effective and a better job could be idone after the surface was laid This is the common practice The Mam Street project was a joint effort with the State of Utah and they were complimentary about the preparations made by the city to renew water before the and
