Hon. Heather Mollo, Juvenile Referee, Bartholomew Circuit Court
"From a Court's perspective, the CASA's involvement is critical, as it ensures that the child's viewpoint is voiced and the child's best interests protected."
Hon. John A. Westhafer Judge, Decatur Circuit Court
"CASA volunteers are the voice of the children in abuse and neglect cases. They are an incredible resource to the court."
Hon. Jon W. Webster, Jennings Circuit Court
"Hardly a day passes in my court when there is not an urgent need to appoint a CASA volunteer, whether in the context of neglect, abuse, or divorce. The CASA volunteer is, in many situations, the only voice a child may have in legal proceedings. CASA volunteers are the foot soldiers of the juvenile system, the indivuals who do the hard and vital work necessary for judges to make informed decisions."
Hon. Bruce A. MacTavish, Judge, Superior Court II, Jackson County
"Input from CASA volunteers has been very valuable and I look forward to their future contributions."
Carolyn Moheban, Court Appointed Special Advocate
"I have been a CASA volunteer for over twenty years. The most gratifying aspect I have found in that time is meeting the adults whom I advocated for as children. I love hearing their success stories and observing first-hand the positive influence Advocates for Children had on their lives."
