Problem: Child Abuse
Each year,
many children in Denton County have their lives destroyed by abuse.
Unfortunately, our criminal and civil justice systems (designed for
adults) can inadvertently add to the suffering of child victims and
their families. Lack of coordination and cooperation among the agencies
involved in this process can create confusion and distress for the child
and family.
To donate to the Capital Campaign you may make a credit card donation online OR to discuss sponsorship opportunities for the new facility, call Dan Leal at (972) 317-2818 ext. 241 or email.
Solution: Child Advocacy Center
The primary goals of the Advocacy Center are:
◊ To reduce the trauma to child victims when they must be involved in
a criminal justice process which can add to that trauma.
◊ To promote emotional healing so victims and non- offending family
members can lead healthy and productive lives.
◊ To keep our communities safe by holding offenders accountable for
their crimes against children.
The once
fragmented approach to investigating, prosecuting and treating child
abuse in our county is now a coordinated, collaborative effort to ensure
that victims are minimally traumatized by the system, healing is
initiated and offenders are held accountable.
