|Every day, children in Indian Country face emotional and physical neglect, bodily harm, and even sexual abuse because their parents or caregivers use, possess, deal or manufacture illegal drugs or other controlled substances. This webinar will focus on the drug endangered children (DEC) response, which increases the likelihood of identifying and intervening on behalf of children at risk of neglect and abuse. Responding to the needs of a child in a dangerous drug environment cannot and should not rest with law enforcement alone. Comprehensive partnerships between law enforcement, prosecutors tribal justice systems, child welfare workers, educators and others are critical for the effective protection of these children.
