Simply put, for several reasons, substantially more children are <br />entering our care then we are able to return to their families or to place in <br />other permanent arrangements. Among the several factors that have <br />contributed to this increase in the number of children in care are these: <br /> 1) While reports of abuse and neglect have not risen significantly, <br /> the reports we have received in this period reflect proportionally <br /> <br />Cabarrus County DSS 1303 South Cannon Blvd Kannapolis, North Carolina 28083 <br /> Telephone Number: 704-920-1400 FAX Number: 704-920-1401 <br /> <br /> <br />
