Schumer: Erin’s Law Will Be A Boon To CPS
The legislation, to be introduced in the US Senate, is aimed at creating a federal program to assist areas such as Oswego County in hiring additional social service workers for child protection. The legislation is inspired by Erin Maxwell.
The Oswego County Sheriff’s Department charged William J. Murray, 51, of 285 Route 48, Fulton with petit larceny and making a false written statement. He was ticketed and released on Saturday afternoon.
Schumer’s plan would provide federal grants to social services agencies so they can hire enough caseworkers to handle suspected cases of abuse or neglect. Schumer’s press release notes, “Despite three reports of abuse referred to the Oswego Country Department of Social Services and their knowledge of the deplorable living conditions, no effort was made to remove Erin from her home or adequately monitor her situation.”
