A child’s best friend: Introducing our newest staff member—Russell the Courthouse Dog

A buy hugs Russell the Dog

Nine year old Mark was brought to the Children’s Advocacy Center by Sheriff’s Deputies to be interviewed about physical abuse occurring in his home. Mark sat quietly in the waiting room, looking frightened and alone. Despite efforts by our advocates to reassure Mark that he was in a safe place, the young man remained quiet and wary.

Four year old Serena bore the bruises of her mother’s discipline, but did not want to talk to anyone about what happened. She cried at any attempt to get her to go into the interview room.
