Guardian ad Litem program needs voices for children
In the state of Florida, when a case of child neglect, abuse or abandonment is reported, the state Department of Children and Families steps in to shelter the child. The shelter may come in the form of a foster home or another family member’s home while the child’s parents are working through their problems. The court will then appoint a Guardian ad Litem to ensure the needs of the child are being met and serve as the voice of the child in court.
