How does Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center work around Boone County?

An allegation of abuse is made

Law enforcement or the Department of Child Services begins an investigation. They bring all involved children to Sylvia’s CAC.

We conduct a forensic interview

We ask non-leading, neutral fact-finding questions about what happened. The child’s responses are recorded on discreet cameras for use by investigators.

Heart Icon
We help with referrals & advocacy

We help non-offending caregivers through the court system, offer mental and medical health referrals, and stand by non-offending caregivers and kids.

Kids begin to heal

Whether a case begins or ends in court, Sylvia’s CAC is “the end of the beginning”. Kids begin to heal. We offer help for the rest of their childhood. 

Teams making a difference in kid’s lives

Our team of forensic interviewers and family advocates work closely with law enforcement, caseworkers, medical providers, and prosecutors. We call it a “multidisciplinary team”.

Our Mission

Our mission at Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center is to reduce trauma to a child victim of abuse by allowing them to tell their story in a safe, comfortable and child-focused environment, with a trained forensic interviewer who will ask age-appropriate and non-leading questions.

The child’s multi-disciplinary team of law enforcement, prosecutor’s office, child protective services, mental health provider, and victim advocate work together shepherd the child and his or her family toward the first steps of healing

Boone County’s income distribution and growth means we have to overcome serious challenges

Indiana’s fastest-growing county is also its most prosperous. But child abuse, assault, and neglect happens in every neighborhood no matter the population, income, age, race, or family status. We know from cases like Jared Fogle’s that our community has significantly different challenges.
