At about 10:15 a.m., local resident Amy Laird is scheduled to meet with the commissioners to discuss Child Abuse Prevention Month. The commissioners plan to present a proclamation to Laird recognizing the cause.
Laird’s son, Alec Van Beveren, has shaken baby syndrome and quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
Laird is expected to share information about Alec’s story and talk about the Court-Appointed Special Advocates Program and how it helped them 25 years ago, and how she now volunteers through the program to help others. Laird’s goal is to continue to raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention.
