Every year millions of children in the United States are abused, neglected or abandoned. Eventually, many of these children end up in court where a judge must decide their future. To ensure he was getting all the facts and the long-term welfare of each child was being represented, a Seattle judge came up with an idea that would change America’s judicial procedure and the lives of over a million children. He recruited his staff; the idea caught on and was developed. Now community volunteers called Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteer to step into courtrooms on behalf of abused and neglected children. |
