历史:
Research continually shows that educators (K-12 and college and university), social
workers, law enforcement officers, health professionals, first responders, counselors,
prosecutors, and members of our legal and childcare systems are inadequately prepared
to respond to a case of child maltreatment and abuse.
In response to this immense need, in 2008 正规博彩平台 became the location of the Melba Shewmaker National Child Protection Training Center.
