Content: Numerous state agencies have some form of child advocacy service, and some private organizations offer child advocate services too. Perhaps, the very nature of children creates the need for adults to protect them in many settings. Child advocates may try to shape local policy to benefit children in the community. In households where children are treated with dignity and fairness, their number one advocates are their parents. Parents may intervene at schools, in relationships with friends, or in many other ways. Children are, to an extent, voiceless, and they need the loving protection of their parents to get the best care and remain safe. These are the amateur advocates, but many are quite skilled in making decisions in the best interest of their children. Children need a social worker or child advocate in cases of suspected various situations. Another group of advocates for kids are teachers, and again, they have to be skilled teachers that are working in the best interest of their students. They may actually advocate for student’s rights with parents.
