New Mexico Catholic leaders are expressing skepticism about a new “Pull Together” state campaign aimed at tackling child abuse.
Santa Fe Archbishop John Wester and Las Cruces Bishop Oscar Cantu said Monday that state resources should instead be placed toward expanding earlier childhood education and programs fighting poverty.
The new state-funded campaign features slick commercials and a new website to draw residents to revamped Children, Youth and Families Department programs like foster care and parenting tips.
Wester says the campaign underestimates the lack of internet access for people living in poverty.
