Considering what hap- pened in the east coast cases, "the ball was dropped," said Lavonne Fawver, the council's coordinator. "We want to prevent that from ever happening to any child in our coun- ty," she said. The two-hour work- shop, which will be pre- sented at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., will offer support to anyone who comes into contact with children, such as health care providers, educators, coaches, youth organiza- tion leaders, church youth leaders or community organization members. Pending legislation could change mandatory reporting rules and any- one who works around children needs to know what those changes mean, Fawver said. "I'm excited about helping individuals who've never had a train- ing," she said. The goal is to reach people who haven't been trained on mandated reporting issues or who have been trained through limited courses and still have questions.
