Prosecutor Named DSS Director

South Carolina got a new Department of Social Services Director in January, Kim Aydlette, the former head of the prosecution section of the state attorney general’s office and of the Elder Abuse Protection Unit. Aydlette was specifically chosen in part because of her experience with elder and child abuse and domestic violence cases. "Kim is in a unique position to identify the bold systemic changes that will help turn this domestic violence around," Governor Mark Sanford said of her appointment.
