Saturday, October 14th, 2006 -- 2006 Inaugural Charity Toy Auction to Benefit the Fort Wayne Children's Foundation and Kids' Law
Fort Wayne Children's Foundation has supported organizations in their fight against child abuse since 1994, and is very excited to raise financial support for Kids' Law by their annual toy auction. By acting as courtroom advocates for abused and neglected children, Kids' Law attorneys are responsible for executing the court's decisions for the best care for the child in need.
BOB CHARLESTON WITH SPECIAL GUEST ICE-T
Kids' Law is the dream of three attorneys who wanted to make things a little easier in the lives of children who are involved in the legal system through no fault of their own. The Kids' Law attorneys act proactively as Guardians Ad Litem representing the best interests of children in child abuse and neglect, paternity, custody, visitation and delinquency disputes. Kids' Law works diligently to protect the rights of the children they represent both in and out of the courtroom, along with acting as a voice in the courtroom for these children.
The need for advocacy for these children is tremendous. Every ten seconds a child is abused or neglected in the United States. This is a staggering statistic that only gets worse when you realize that child abuse and neglect are significantly under-reported.
Currently, the Kids' Law attorneys and staff have represented over 1,500 children in 2006. Without the watchful eye of the Guardians Ad Litem from Kids' Law, many of these children would never have the opportunity to thrive in today's society.
