We enjoyed participating in KIDS Blitz 2023 – a collaborative effort among Arizona foster care agencies to provide training and support for foster parents. Our pro bono Children’s Law Clinic Director Tom Jose spoke to foster parents about how they can advocate, in and out of court, for the kids in their care and walked them through Arizona’s laws and rules designed to protect the rights of children in foster care.

Alex is in 2nd grade, but he’s already a proud mathlete and dreams of being a scientist when he grows up. At 5 years old, Alex was placed in foster care. When he started school, it became clear Alex needed special education services which required mom's consent. She was nowhere to be found. The Center for the Rights of Abused Children is creating common-sense reforms that help kids like Alex access the essential services they need to succeed.

Claire was just 9 years old when mom started trafficking her to support an opioid addiction. Claire’s sister found out about the sexual abuse and got her out of the house.
