In homes across America, thousands of abused and neglected children
are thrust into the court system each day through no fault of
their own. Lawyers represent the state and the parents or guardians,
and judges will rule to the best of their ability. But the children
are often left out of a process that will ultimately direct
the future of their lives.
Working with the court system, CASA volunteers help facilitate
and monitor a child’s case to ensure that his or her interests
are served. They help in gathering and giving information to
the judge and child welfare worker. Advocates are a powerful
voice in court for children. They provide the link between a
life of turmoil and a promising future. |
