Child Protection Summit Set

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Kentucky Youth Advocates have planned a January 14th "Summit to End Child Abuse Deaths" they hope will provide ideas on how to improve the state's child-protection system. Recent news stories about several deaths, including 9 year old Amy Dye who was beaten to death by her adoptive brother, have prompted lawmakers to vow to make changes. Several lawmakers, including Senator Joey Pendleton, a Hopkinsville Democrat whose district includes Todd County, expressed concern at a legislative hearing last month that the system had failed Dye.
