WE CAN’T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED,
BUT WE CAN CHANGE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT…
A child who has been abused is forever
changed. The experience can't be undone. At Angelina Alliance
for Children, our community is working together to lessen a child's
pain, anger, fear and confusion of the investigation and prosecution
of his or her abuser. We are changing what happens next.
Imagine yourself as a child having
to tell strangers over and over again about how someone cruelly
assaulted you. Angelina Alliance for Children opened in November
of 2002 to give abused children a safe place to go and tell their
story.where
their story will be videotaped so that investigative agencies
can view the tape instead of repeatedly questioning the child.where
loving family members of abuse victims receive support.and where
hurting children are surrounded by caring adults and smiles.
The Mission of
Angelina Alliance for Children is "To serve child victims of
sexual and/or physical abuse, minimizing their trauma through
a team approach in a child friendly environment."
Executive
Director Cathy Pavlic and Forensic Interviewer Amy Doahoe were
recent guests on the City of Lufkin's cable news program, City Hall
Update. We have a streaming video
of the interview which also contains the video titled "The 11th
Commandment".
