DELAWARE - A new law in the first state is aimed at making sure children who are victims or witnesses to crimes get special support at school.

A law signed Friday allows law enforcement or an emergency care provider to notify schools about kids who are involved in traumatic incidents or have contact with law enforcement.

Supporters say kids who experience trauma need to be able to speak with specialists where they go to class.

Schools in Kent County will be among the first to use the program.
