Every inquiry is taken seriously. Because the need for help far exceeds our current capacity, we prioritize cases where a child is in immediate danger.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
A Child Has No Meaningful Voice in Court
A child has no attorney or a child’s attorney has not met with them, does not return calls, or is not advocating for the child’s requests for safety, placement, or family.
Safety Concerns Are Ignored or Minimized
A child remains in—or is returned to—a dangerous situation despite known risks, reports of harm, or repeated system involvement.
A Placement Causes Harm
A foster home, group facility, or institutional placement is unsafe or otherwise not in the child’s interests.
A Child Is Stuck in Legal Limbo
Court delays, inaction, or procedural failures leave a child waiting years for permanency, stability, or resolution.
Family Connections Are Unjustly Blocked
A child is separated from siblings, grandparents, or other relatives due to delay, bureaucracy, or rigid policies not in the child’s interests.
A Child’s Education Is Being Disrupted or Neglected
A child is falling behind in school because of repeated placement changes, lack of enrollment, inappropriate special education services, school discipline, or failure to provide transportation, tutoring, or accommodations required by law.
A Child’s Property or Benefits Are Taken or Misused
A child’s Social Security, survivor, or disability benefits are diverted to pay for their care instead of being protected for their future.
