CM Cumber would like to hold a hearing in NCSPHS on Child abuse and the increase during COVID-19. Home is not always the safest place to be. CM Cumber’s sister is an MD and she said they are seeing worse cases during COVID-19. She referred to a Washington Post article that shows less cases but the cases are more severe. The article even referred to Jacksonville. Her intent is to bring in experts to discuss. She wants to know what we can do to help. CM White says it’s a great idea and would welcome the panel discussion. Mary Nash, Director of Special Needs, KHA’s Healthy Families Program stated that the increase in stress levels of parents are up so child abuse goes up as well.
