Welcome

The West Virginia Children’s Justice Task Force, a multidisciplinary group of public and private agencies and individuals, is committed to the protection of children from abuse and neglect. Our mission is to identify barriers to the successful resolution of child abuse and neglect issues and to educate and advocate for change. The Task Force examines statewide policy and legislation regarding the investigative, administrative, and judicial handling of cases of child abuse and neglect. This review, in turn, helps make the legal process less traumatic for victims. The Task Force works in collaboration with several organizations and agencies in the child welfare realm.
