Welcome to CASA for Children of
Mercer and Burlington Counties
According to the NJ Administrative Office of
the Courts
nearly 14,000 children in New Jersey
lived in out-of-home placements in fiscal year 2010.
Nearly 1,000 children,
in Mercer and Burlington
Counties,
pass through the foster care system because of abuse, neglect or abandonment, each year.
Their cases
are brought to court before a Family Court Judge who sometimes has only a few
minutes to make critical life-altering decisions about their future. Family
Court Judge needs accurate and up-to-date information to make the right
decision for a foster child. That’s where CASA steps in.
