OSWEGO – The Oswego County Legislature’s Human Services Committee presented a proclamation designating April as Child Abuse Prevention Month to representatives of the Oswego County Department of Social Services and the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office.
Effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of partnerships created among social service and law enforcement agencies, schools and civic organizations, and faith and business communities.

Together, they are all dedicated to reducing and preventing child abuse, neglect and maltreatment in Oswego County.
