Council shines spotlight
on child abuse, neglect
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Mayor Cathy Clark signed
a proclamation declaring
is Child Abuse Preven-
tion month in Keizer at a
meeting of the Keizer City
Council Monday, April 2.
The proclamation was
submitted to the city by
Shaney Starr, executive di-
rector of Court Appointed
Special Advocates (CASA),
which moved to a new
location on River Road
North in Keizer last year.
“(There is) an unfortu-
nate number of child abuse
incidents and victims that
continue to increase in our
community and our county
and also statewide,” Starr said.
In 2016, there were 11,843
confi rmed cases of child
abuse and neglect statewide,
an increase of more than
1,400 from 2015. Confi rmed
cases in Marion County rose
by more than 400 in the same
time period.
“The stark reality is that
we all need to do more and
need to do more on the abuse
prevention side,” Starr said.
