Serve as the volunteer advocate for the child in Dependency Court proceedings in cases of child abuse, neglect or abandonment. I seek to ensure that the best interests of the child are foremost in the proceedings and that the child's needs--physical, educational, medical and emotional--don't get lost in the "system". Conduct independent investigation of facts surrounding the child's situation and make recommendations to the Court regarding ultimate disposiiton of the case.
