Over half a million children are
in the foster care system. They are unable to live safely at
home due to some form of parental abuse and/or neglect. The
child then becomes part of a complex legal network, where the
welfare workers, attorneys, and judges don't always have the time or
resources to give detailed attention to the child. The judge
has to decide the fate of a child without all the details.
This is when CASA steps in. They become the eyes and ears
for the judge, becoming the voice for the child.
It is estimated that children who
suffer abuse and neglect are:
- 53% more likely to become
juvenile delinquents
- 38% more likely to become
violent criminals as adults
CASA volunteers make a direct
impact on a child's life, perhaps for generations to come.
