Delaware hosts child abuse recognition summit tonight
Del. Gov. Jack Markell and Attorney General Beau Biden, among others, will attend the Delaware Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting Summit in Dover tonight.
More than 900 people are expected to attend the event, which is meant to help medical professionals, law enforcement authorities and others better recognize and respond to suspected child abuse, the Associated Press reports.
The summit is the result of a law passed last year after former Lewes pediatrician Early Bradley was found to have sexually assaulted patients over the course of a decade.
