{West Virginia}...Three conferences that will focus on child abuse and neglect are set for Thursday and Friday at Snowshoe Mountain Resort, July 18th and 19th at the Bridgeport Conference Center, and July 21st and 22nd at the Chief Logan Conference Center in Logan. More than 680 participants are registered, including judges, attorneys, social workers, nurses and foster parents. Registration is required because of limited capacity at each location. The seminars are sponsored by the West Virginia Supreme Court and its court-improvement program board  and the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The theme of the conference is planning for timely permanent placements of children.
