Child Abuse
and Neglect Investigations
After a report of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation has been made
to the Hotline, the information is referred to the appropriate DFS county
office. The law requires that a DFS social worker initiate an investigation
within 24 hours of the receipt of the report, unless the incident relates
to educational neglect only, in which case an investigation must be initiated
within 72 hours. The purpose of the investigation is to detect cases of
actual or potential abuse or neglect and to help the family and the child.
If the child is reported to be in immediate danger, the social worker must
immediately and directly observe the child. (800) 392-3738 (573) 751-3448

to judge the level of civilization of a society is to observe how they care
for their children and women.
I don't see any societies I would call too civilized.

Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and
responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is
guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with
one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples
the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong
points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples
are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner
in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help
couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the
marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime."
Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use
throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed
for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple,
common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering
engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked
to share their private experiences with the group.
