The following goals help Justice For Children fulfill its mission at both the individual
(case) and system (policy) levels:
- To identify and increase the number of
people who report abuse cases through more effective public education.
- To reduce the incidence of child abuse by developing public policy initiatives and
educating key stakeholders about the problems in the child protective system.
- To reduce the incidence of re-abuse of known victims by developing
more effective intervention measures and support services within the system, resulting
in fewer children falling through the cracks.
- To align comprehensive, new prevention and intervention strategies with innovative
treatment methodologies to enhance support of abused children.
Points at which JFC can intervene to advocate for a child after the initial report of abuse:
- When an abused child is left in an abusive home.
- When an abused child is at risk of being returned to the care of an offender.
- When an abused child needs therapy and all other resources have been exhausted.
- When criminal charges need to be investigated.
