Two Cole County residents were appointed to Missouri's Child Abuse and Neglect Review Board, Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday. Mark McCarter, of Wardsville, and Mary Deeken, of Jefferson City, were appointed to the board, which provides an independent review of child abuse and neglect cases when the alleged perpetrator disagrees with determinations reached by the Department of Social Services Children's Division. McCarter, a retired colonel of the Missouri Army National Guard, most recently served as director of plans, operations and training for the agency.
