Shouldn every abused/neglected child be permanently removed from the abusive caregiver?
CASA volunteers work in partnership with key professionals in determining the best outcome for each child. Removal from a family of origin is always a traumatic event that can create life long problems for a child. In some cases, a family can be provided resources, support and training that will help a troubled family find healthy ways to interact and provide care. There are many achievable positive outcomes for a child – adoption, reunification, independent living or guardianship with relatives are the most viable answers to the child’s need for a safe, permanent home.
