In light of the recent death of 18-month-old Jaxxon Sullivan, with the parent's partner accused of his death, Allen County Children Services urges parents to choose their partner carefully.
The Choose Your Partner Carefully class is put on by Children Services to encourage parents to think thoroughly about who they leave their children with. Warning signs including excessive anger or impatience towards the child are some of the things that Children Services says to look out for, all to be sure that children are safe in their own homes.
"Children should always be a parent's first priority and they should always look into the partners background and their history to know who that person is going to be, especially if that person is going to be a child care provider for their children," said Staci Nichols, Intake Assessment Supervisor for Allen County Children Services.
Allen County Children Services encourages the public to attend the next Choose Your Partner Carefully class on Monday, May 7th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at their office at 123 West Spring Street in Lima.
