It is absolutely heart-breaking to learn of a child being abused at home. Children are innocent and learn from mistakes. It seems so heartless to think an adult would hurt a precious child. I, the blogger, have had a good family life. I cannot begin to imagine the trials and issues abused children go through emotionally and physically.
"Why?" is the question I seem to ask over and over again. WHY would a person abuse a child? WHY do these children have to suffer? It is a blessing that these innocent children have volunteers like the Court Appointed Special Advocates of the Eastern Panhandle in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
CASA-EP volunteers act as investigators, employing a holistic approach to collecting and providing a judge with valuable information on a child and his/her total environment in order to help the court make a sound decision about the child's placement. Volunteers at CASA-EP research and guide parents and other care givers to resources they may need such as treatment programs or medical assistance. Perhaps most importantly, CASA-EP volunteers often provide children they serve with consistency and hope. CASA-EP volunteers are standing up to ensure that the children of the Eastern Panhandle who have been affected by neglect and abuse have the best possible chance at a bright future.
To the volunteers at CASA-EP, consider yourselves angels. Your work for these children is amazing, inspiring, and appreciated. Not only do the children you work with appreciate you, but your everyday people appreciate you for being a crusader for well-being.
Blessings, CASA-EP!
