SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 73
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join Texans across the state in celebrating Children's Advocacy |
|
Centers of Texas Legislative Day at the Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, The mission of the Children's Advocacy Centers of |
|
Texas is to restore the lives of abused and neglected children; |
|
composed of 66 centers distributed across the state, this |
|
exemplary organization works with local communities and agencies |
|
to protect the right of children to be safe, secure, and free from |
|
violence; and |
|
WHEREAS, The centers bring together such disparate |
|
disciplines as law enforcement, child protective services, and |
|
mental and medical health services to create a collaborative |
|
approach to investigating and prosecuting child abuse; this |
|
cooperative effort results in the prompt and effective sharing of |
|
information and evidence and works to diminish the sometimes |
|
traumatic effects of the investigative process; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas provides |
|
young victims with the services they need and raises public |
|
awareness about the need to protect children; it is truly fitting |
|
that this outstanding organization be recognized for its many |
|
achievements; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the Children's Advocacy Centers of |
|
Texas on their exceptional efforts to help ensure that abused |
|
children receive justice and extend best wishes for a memorable |
|
Legislative Day at the Capitol; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas |
|
Senate. |
