OH–Child abuse cases on the rise
TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) – Clyde police are busy investigating a number of apparent child abuse cases.
Clyde father KC Goble faces murder charges after police say he beat his 2-month-old son Preston to death in January. The Clyde police are also investigating the weekend death of 3-month-old Frank Saddlemire IV.
While Clyde detectives tackle those cases, the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office is tackling a skyrocketing number of child abuse cases of its own.
Captain James Consolo is not involved in the Goble or Saddlemire cases, but he is handling nearly six abuse cases a week — five more than what he averaged a year ago.
Consolo says most cases now deal with sexual abuse.
