            I went to the Learning Garden to talk to Lynn Easum about how often they have to get involved with the parents and when they think that its time to get DFS involved with getting the parents and child or children help.
             With in the 10 years Lynn has owned the Learning Garden she has only had to get DFS involved twice. Although, they do take more action then you think. When they see or think there might be a problem with a child they contact the parent or parents to have a meeting. Lynn said that she thinks that when there are problems with a child at a young age that it will definitely effect the child when he or she gets into middle school and high school. It may not be the physical abuse but they mental. when a child is mentally abused, meaning get neglected, and the parents don't seem to care about the child.
