Four of the five cases were verified. By the end of 1988, the agency was serving 46 families in which child abuse had occurred. Local Director of Family and Children’s Services, John Penn, says the agency’s goal in revealing these statistics is to remind the public that child abuse is a problem which occurs not only in large metropoli­ tan areas and far-away places but one which occurs close to home. Social work staff at Family and Children’s Services work with fami­ lies where abuse has occurred to help reduce the risk to children and to assist parents to find better child-rearing practices. At times it is necessary to place children in foster care in order to protect them from future harm. At the end of 1988, the agency had placed 53 children in its 48 local foster homes. Foster care is often required only for a temporary period until fami­ lies are more able to meet the needs of their children. Six children were returned to their families during the month of December. The agency deals not only with problems related to child abuse, but helps families to deal with a variety of problems. At the end of 1988, it was serving 230 local families. Fifty-two volunteers assist the agency’s social work staff in pro­ viding services to families. One project which relies heavily on volunteer help is the agency’s annual Christmas Bureau. This year it provided assistance to 320 families, including 700 children. Though the Christmas Bureau effort has ended for another year, the agency depends on local resi­ dents to assist it with year-round programs. Inquiries from people seeking volunteer work are always welcome.
