Author: Rachel Droze Updated: 8:40 PM CST December 25, 2020 DALLAS COUNTY, Iowa — A central Iowa family is looking for answers after their child came home from school with bruises. "That's upsetting, even now, when you see it in writing that your child is on a press release for being the victim of child abuse," the child's father said. To protect the identity of the child, Local 5 is hiding the identity of the father. The Dallas County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday they're looking into allegations of assault at Dexter Elementary School, which is part of the West Valley Central District.
