Jessie’s Place- Citrus County Children’s Advocacy Center
Our speaker was Melissa Bowmaster Executive Director of Jessie’s Place.
She provided a lot of information that most members were not aware
of what all was done their for abused children. They do the first interview’s
of the child when abuse has been reported or suspected to help determine
if child abuse has occurred. They have several programs going on to help
abused children to recover or deal with what happened.
Jessie’s Place is named in memory of Jessica Lundsford, a young Citrus County, FL
girl whose 2005 death drew nationwide attention and sympathy.
