AG, First lady announce statewide child sexual abuse & prevention training

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Attorney General Andy Beshear and First Lady Glenna Bevin are partnering to launch a comprehensive statewide training agenda aimed at protecting Kentucky’s children from sexual abuse.

The Attorney General and First Lady joined child advocates and lawmakers on Tuesday to highlight the nearly 20 statewide training programs that focus on the ways sexual predators try to approach children.

The training programs will assist law enforcement, prosecutors, social workers, community advocates, religious affiliates, parents and educators in keeping children safe.  Training will be offered at each of Kentucky’s 15 Development Districts.  Law enforcement, prosecutors, social workers, educators and other professional child advocates are invited to participate.

For more information on these training programs, visit the Office of the Attorney General’s website.

To help support victims of child sexual abuse, Kentuckians can visit their county clerk’s office and request a “I Care About Kids” license plate or check the box on your tax return to designate a portion to the CVTF.
