Child Advocacy Center (CAC)
is a community based, child-focused and child-friendly facility where representatives from many disciplines (including Law Enforcement, Medical, Mental Health, Prosecutor's Office, and Victim Advocates) discuss and make decisions about investigation, treatment and prosecution of child abuse cases. The primary goal is to ensure Clinton County children are not further victimized by the systems designed to protect them. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Volunteers are appointed by the court to a child (or sibling group) and visit the child(ren) every 7 to 10 days. Through their consistent visits, CASA Advocates really get to know their child(ren). CASA Advocates report back to the court how the child(ren) are doing throughout their foster care journey to a safe, permanent home. |
Adults can change their circumstances; children cannot. Children are powerless, and in difficult situations they are the victims of every sorrow and mischance and rage around them, for children feel all of these things but without any of the ability that adults have to change them. Whatever can take a child beyond such circumstances, therefore, is an alleviation and a blessing ~Mary Oliver~ |
