came out of that review. Possibly as a result, there is improved inter-county <br />DSS communication. <br />The Cabarms County CFPT continues to work closely with the Cabarrus <br />County CCPT. Many members are on both teams, and represent diverse <br />agencies throughout the community. Members continue to bring issues to the <br />table that will ultimately make Cabarrus County a safer place for children. <br />Partly because of the work of these two teams, the Children's Advocacy <br />Center at NEMC has developed a protocol for first responders to follow when <br />a child death occurs. <br /> <br />IV. Conclusion <br /> <br />Lastly, it needs to be brought up that both the CFPT and the CCPT continue to <br />encounter the same issues when dealing with families. They are substance abuse and <br />domestic violence, as well as un- safe sleeping/riding for children. Our county offers <br />car seat checks as well as car seats at little or no cost. Yet it is still continuously <br />noted that children are seen not in car seats, or are in car seats incorrectly. Substance <br />abuse and domestic violence appear to go hand-in-hand, and is an ever- growing ~ssue <br />in our community. Unfortunately, when we see the result of these behaviors on <br />children, it's too little too late. <br /> <br />I hope this report has helped you to understand what we are facing with regards to the <br />children of Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />Resp/~l~y submitS, ~ ' <br />Cabarms County CFPT Chair <br /> <br />/sk <br /> <br /> <br />
