The Bluebonnet Children's Advocacy Center is multi-disciplinary approach to
working sexual abuse and serious physical abuse cases.  The Center provides a child-
friendly, safe, neutral environment for children alleged to have been abused. The
Center works to lessen the emotional trauma to children who are going through the
civil and criminal systems. The Center accomplishes these goals by providing the
following services:

Coordinating the investigation, assessment, prosecution and
          treatment of sexual and serious physical abuse cases.

Providing forensic interviews of alleged victims of abuse and witnesses to
crime.  The interviewers are trained to question children in a non-leading
manner that is non-traumatic for the children.  The interviewers gather
information for law enforcement, CPS and the district attorney’s office to
reduce the number of times a child has to be interviewed.

intervention services and referrals to appropriate services for families.

nurturing environment.
