About WV CJTF
Mission Statement: Child Abuse and neglect are community problems requiring community solutions. The WV Children’s Justice Task Force, a multi-disciplinary body of public and private agencies and individuals, is committed to the protection of children.
Our mission is to identify barriers to the successful resolution of child abuse and neglect issues; and to educate and advocate for change.
Membership: The Children’s Justice Task Force is a multi-disciplinary group, composed of volunteer representatives from law enforcement, the judiciary, prosecuting attorneys, defense attorneys, child advocates, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), health and mental health professionals, child protective services, developmental disabilities, and parent groups. The Task Force meets quarterly to plan and carry out activities related to its mission.
