Children’s Alliance of South Texas, A Child Advocacy Center, partners with Atascosa, Frio, Karnes, La Salle, and Wilson law enforcement agencies, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, County Attorney offices and 81st District Attorney’s Office. All these agencies work together at Children’s Alliance of South Texas to reduce trauma to child abuse victims during an investigation and to improve their agencies responses to children who are often frightened and hurting. As a result of the collaboration, investigators and detectives are able to complete investigations in a timelier manner, cases are stronger for prosecution, and children along with their protective caregivers are more likely to benefit from available services we provide.
