True or False: Local law enforcement agencies investigate child abuse complaints filed by parents against school employees.

True
False
Only if the abuse occurred during school hours
Only if authorized by a school official

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because local law enforcement agencies are responsible for investigating various crimes, including child abuse complaints, regardless of the nature of the complaint or who files it. When parents report suspicions or allegations regarding child abuse by school employees, law enforcement has an obligation to investigate these claims thoroughly to ensure the safety and well-being of the child involved. This responsibility is part of their larger duty to protect children from harm, and such investigations are not contingent upon specific circumstances like the time of day when the alleged abuse occurred or the authorization from school officials.
