All three suspects were arraigned in Magistrate Court Tuesday. The magistrate set bond at $20,000 each.

I understand everyone's frustration. But believe me you have no idea how bad the situation is. Skomething must be done. The Children are the real victims. Venting here will do no good but pressure on the PC prosecutor's office and stagging a show of force for the trial/sentencing might. Anyone want to go to the court house with me? This situation is serious.

Truth, the truth is you must answer a call first before you can do detective/investigation work. Example, you said it best, "They do detective work and so on because they don't have some detective unit to turn it over to." "And so on", is this the times when you are in the office listening to your scanner letting the deputies answer all the calls? It sounds to me that you are just upset someone is calling your snow. Mr Manchin listen to your scanner, you might decide to give some money to PCSD for more deputies. Thank You
