A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Ten year old Emily was sexually assaulted by her mom’s boyfriend. After 2 years, her CASA volunteer was the only person she trusted. She didn’t tell her caseworker or therapist that her mom was lying about still seeing her boyfriend. Emily disclosed this to her CASA volunteer who visited the house in the evening and confirmed it was true. This evidence prevented the judge from closing the case and exposing Emily to further abuse.
