Officers responded at the request of Child Protective Services to a home in town to check on the welfare of children living at the residence. The adults living at the dwelling each have children from previous relationships, so calls were made to multiple parents before the police visit. Nothing appeared to be amiss, so the information was reported to CPS and no other police action was required at this time.
