Make a difference

in the life of one abused or neglected child







A father and son were walking along a beach and came upon hundreds of starfish that had washed onto the shore.

The little boy stooped, picked up a starfish and tossed it back into the sea.

Then he reached down and picked up another starfish and tossed it back into the sea ... then another, then another.

After watching his son rescue several starfish, the father announced that it was time to walk along. He said there was no way his son could make a difference because of the great number of starfish that had washed ashore.

Stooping to pick up one more starfish, and tossing it into the sea, the son said,

"I made a difference for that one."


There are hundreds of children in the care of the Washington County child welfare and juvenile court system.


Court Appointed Special Advocates make a difference, one child at a time.
