In Indiana, most children who face abuse and neglect do not have the right to an attorney, but their abusers do. A state senator has been seeking legislation to change that.

Currently, Child Advocates is the only organization in the state offering a free, in-house attorney for older children in the child welfare system. In this eye-opening podcast episode, we talk with a national expert on counsel for children who tells us why and how an attorney can change a child’s future.
