Do CASAs go into the homes of the birth parents whose children have been removed?
CASAs meet birth parents in neutral places—such as: diners, fast food restaurants, the place they may go for therapy or visits with their child, or outside the courtroom. The safety of the volunteer is very important to us. If the child is going to be reunited with the parent(s), the CASA often goes to visit where they live shortly before this takes place, as part of their independent assessment of the situation.
