Kids and their families who survived the trauma of physical or sexual abuse have to sit in a courtroom and talk about what happened to them. But thanks to the Kids in Court program, they will be better prepared.
There’s a celebration for kids on the top floor of the Dallas County Frank Crowley Courthouse.Friday’s gathering was to celebrate the program’s 30th anniversary. It provided a happy and festive atmosphere for kids who've suffered hurtful and frightening abuse.We won't tell you who they are, but from toddlers to teens who were physically or sexually abused and their caretakers.
The National Council of Jewish Women has sponsored the event for 30 years now."I think this makes a tremendous difference," said Elaine Stillman, president of the Dallas chapter of the organization. "We can almost see it from the time the kids first walk in that morning until they have their pizza and leave."She was joined by the Bikers Against Child Abuse, who offer their presence as security."We all have a heart for these kids," said ‘Shooter,’ a BACA member.
