The mission of The Center for the Rights of Abused Children is to protect children, change laws and inspire people – to ensure every abused child has a bright future. We envision a day when all of America’s children have the opportunity to live in safe and loving homes. We provide a lifeline for abused children in our pro bono Children's Law Clinic and through common-sense laws and public interest litigation. The Center for the Rights of Abused Children has changed more than 30 laws across the country impacting 500,000 kids. New laws require mandatory and immediate reporting of children missing from foster care, increased penalties for child predators, and securing the right of abused children to be represented by legal counsel.
