CONFERENCE FOCUSES ON KIDS ENDANGERED BY DRUGS

Children endangered by adults who use or keep drugs in their homes will be the focus of a conference today and Tuesday in Wausau for investigators, emergency responders, child protection workers and others.

The conference, held at the Plaza Hotel and Suites, will educate participants on the devastating effects of drugs on children, and encourage the community to collaborate on efforts to help kids in dangerous homes.

The National Drug Endangered Children Alliance is an initiative by the federal government that involves different groups in the community working together to help children living in drug environments.
