Story in the Stats
- The Illinois Department of Child and Family Services receives and investigates a report of suspected child abuse or neglect every five minutes, and a report of child sexual abuse every two hours.
- Other than a parent, the paramour (live-in boyfriend/girlfriend) is the most likely indicated perpetrator of child abuse and/or neglect.
- CASA of Southern Illinois is assigning three times more children in crisis to trained CASA advocates each year compared to ten years ago.
238,000 children have a CASA volunteer standing by their side each year, ensuring their voices are heard and needs are met. But another 400,000 go it alone.
You can change that.
