[QUOTE="DDD, post: 344326, member: 35"] That's great news. The community need is overwhelming in most areas. Where I live they had to eliminate all cases involving teenqagers a few years back so there would be enough people to focus on the preteen children. Florida does not use attorneys as GALs which I think is wise. Each child does have an attorney appointed for their protection, however, and that lawyer participates in all hearings. Doing home visits to talk with everyone even remotely involved with the child led to some challenging moments. As a big city raised woman I found it a bit challenging driving down back country roads to talk with uncooperative rifle toting family members. :anxious: Mutual respect was a bit difficult to find, lol. Obviously it was not uncommon for resentment and animosity to be waiting on the front porch. I'll be very interested in following your journey. I don't doubt for a minute that many children will benefit from your dedication. DDD [/QUOTE]
