Safe Harbor - Summer Rent Party 2011

When:  21 July 2011 - it was a huge success - thank you Madison!

Where:  The Edgewater Ballroom - Madison, WI

Why: Support Safe Harbor's work to help victims of child abuse

When a law enforcement officer or child protection worker suspects that a child has been victimized or witnessed a crime, they need to know that the child is safe.  Prior to Safe Harbor opening its doors in 1999, a child would have to be interviewed multiple times not only by law enforcement and child protection workers, but also potentially by medical professionals, a counselor, and a prosecuting attorney.

Safe Harbor provides a safe and friendly place for a child to talk about what has happened to them, so that hopefully the child will be interviewed only once.
Safe Harbor brings professionals together from all the agencies involved with a case, and the child talks to a highly trained interviewer. This statement is recorded, and if charges are filed, the recorded statement may be used in court in place of the child's testimony.
