 DMV Spotlight shines a light on the Northern Virginia Family Services' Court Appointed Special Advocate program. The court appointed trained volunteers to advocate for the best interest of children in Foster Care  who've experienced abuse and neglect. Guest, Amy Wilker, NVFS Director explains that the "CASA" volunteers are in contact with the child twice a month and prepare a report for the judge based only on what is best for the child. Wilker says the need is great with over 30 children waiting for an advocate who is assigned only to them until final placement. Wilder also explains the volunteer training is extensive and on-going to preclude any attachment to the child.
