BATON ROUGE – In the wake of a triple murder that left a toddler dead, many are discussing an increase in violence among kids and whether parents should be held accountable.
The Executive Director at Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center says it s a complicated diagnosis and every case is different, but there s usually competing instincts at play.
“There’s the instinct to do the right thing, but it’s competing with the instinct to protect your child,” said Toni Bankston.
In the wake of a recent double homicide that also led to the death of a four-month-old boy, a Baton Rouge agency is reminding people about the help that’s available for kids that deal with traumatic experiences.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Baton Rouge Childrenâs Advocacy Center continues to see more child abuse cases, and some are linked to the increase in homicide rates.
More time inside and less time spent at school. The Baton Rouge Childrenâs Advocacy Center (CAC) says that combination has led to more child abuse cases.
âTheir world has been upside down. You know, children find safety in routine and ritual, and since they havenât been going to school for a good part of the year and the school situation has been changing back and forth. Thereâs a lot of uncertainty and unpredictability,â says Tony Bankston who is the chief executive officer at the Baton Rouge CAC.
