JUSTICE FOR AN

INNOCENT CHILD

JUSTICE FOR AN INNOCENT CHILD-
Through your valuable support, the WV Bar Foundation Board of Directors has made a commitment to providing grant assistance to the worthwhile organizations around the state which are leaders in the fight against child abuse and neglect. Utilizing specialized forensic interview techniques, as well as other supportive activities, victims of child abuse and neglect are recorded in a safe atmosphere and environment. “These recordings are one of the most effective and reliable ways to present findings of the investigation and for the court to provide justice for an innocent child”, according to a report from Child Protect of Mercer County, a child advocacy center that received a Bar Foundation grant last year.

Bar Foundation grants, totaling more than $30,000 in the past six years, have been made to important non-profit entities focused on child abuse and neglect cases in the following counties— Berkeley, Harrison, Jefferson, Kanawha, Logan, Mingo, Monongalia, Morgan, Raleigh and Wood. The most recent annual statistics from the WV Supreme Court document 3,681 child abuse and neglect cases that went through the court system in 2013.

The Bar Foundation will continue its mission of working to improve the administration of justice and the provision of legal services to WV’s citizens. Your contributions and donations to the Bar Foundation will enable it to do even more.

 

GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION-
The WV Bar Foundation’s Board of Directors expresses its sincere appreciation to Judge Edwin and Ellie Flowers of Morgantown for the generous contribution that they made recently to the Bar Foundation.
