it is not about the child advocacy. she is excellent. i know that she will bring the greatest resources. but that solution, if that talks and is there, we need to deal with that. supervisor cohen: thank you. [reads names] >> good afternoon, supervisors. i simply want to tag on to the folks who are suggesting that we hold this off for a little while and explore other options in terms of location. i come from as far back as 1969. i actually worked at that location, evans and third street. i know that that is the cross- section of functionally a freeway. you have big rigs rolling through there. i was shocked to hear mr. schmidt said that there are trains, locomotives that roll up to that building. i am not certain what is going to happen in the rezoning of that facility. where trains can actually still roll up to it. it seems to me that that is a very awkward condition for a facility that is designed to be on the health care matter. i would also say that, you know, when you look at where that location is, it seems to me that it is more -- i

and it ended up overwhelming our child welfare system with about 50% increase in new child, child protection screenings and investigations, led to actually fewer services for abused children because there were no new funds for this change in law and the resources had to be moved from services to screening and investigation. so during the nine months that was in place in minnesota, we had a huge increase in screenings and investigation, and decrease in services. and together, the child welfare system, administrative and the domestic violence network in the state got together very quickly, unanimously for the first time in their history, to lobby for the repeal of that law under minnesota statute. and it was repealed. and sadly though, upon repeal, now 50% fewer children are being reported to child protection. so on one level we had a lot more reporting but we had no new resources, sort of an unfunded mandate. on the other hand, we know about these children but we're not reporting. and i think there's a third way that we need to support which is a community-based outside of the child welfare s

i report child abuse and stay anonymous? the office for women and domestic and sexual violence services says, quite, in 93% of cases of child sex abuse, the abuser is someone the child knows. police say after seeing the sandusky scandal play out, more people have got the courage to pell police of their own stories of abuse. >> people will call and they will refer back to that sometimes and they will say, you know, this happened there and here's my situation. do i have a case? >> reporter: there is no statute of limitations for prosecution in virginia on child sex abuse. in other words, no matter how long it's been, you can always report abuse. we are live in the newsroom, back to you in the studio. >> all right, erika gonzalez. thank you. >>> water and sewer fees could be going up in maryland. wssc proposing a 7.5% increase for prince georges and montgomery counties. using you 210 gallons of water a day about 5 a month. the increase necessary to cover higher operating costs, a portion of the rate increase would also go towar

get some help for your child because a mother who herself is damaged and injured cannot help her child. very good. and, dr. clark, you were talking about different types of scenarios in terms of how parents need to cope with different types of trauma that their children may have experienced. what other types of actions should parents be taking in a different scenario? well the most important thing, as dr. harris pointed out, you listen but you should also believe your child unless the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary, which means, as dr. harris points out, you are taking it outside to explore, to get vindication. so, if it's bullying you are talking to the school. you're talking to the teacher. if it's sexual assault, you're bringing in the appropriate authorities to address that. if it's a family member, you are not keeping it a secret because you're afraid of embarrassing the family. the issue is that the child will suffer long-term consequences, and you too will suffer consequences because you are either, you're a victim yourself based on the past or you're sitting there h

consider the child who just can't learn to read. think about him. his parents love him, but maybe they're working long hours to make ends meet. so they can't read to him much at home. maybe his teacher knows he needs more one-on-one instruction, but there's no after-school tutoring. so the little boy doesn't get the help. but we keep passing him on from one grade to the next. imagine that child in fourth and fifth grade, and on to middle school. now he can read the words, but doesn't really understand it. so he struggles to learn about history, geography, science. when he can't meet the standards, we don't offer him a hand up. we just lower the bar. sending him to the next grade and sending him a toxic message that he's not capable of making the cut. he's ashamed. he's frustrated. angry. and eventually, he drops out. i encountered many of these kids as a prosecutor. not when they were kids, but when they were living a life of crime as adults. we know that children who can't read by the third grade are four times more likely to drop out, and 80% of o
