In 2006 in Texas alone, almost 68,000 children were confirmed as victims of abuse or neglect.  Approximately 32,000 of these children were immersed in the legal system, relying on the courts to save them and protect them from further harm.  Every child who is removed from a home after confirmed abuse or neglect has a court case in which a court-appointed attorney represents the child and a judge decides critical aspects of the child’s future.  The system for handling these cases is grossly under-funded.  The astonishing lack of resources, tools, and training for the legal professionals involved jeopardizes the safety of these children and puts their lives at risk.
