A community volunteer who sworn by a family judge to advise the juvenile court about child placement is known as a child advocate. A child advocate is responsible for providing assistance to children and families that are in a state of crisis. Courts usually appoint child advocates to speak on behalf of children whose welfare may be in question or in danger due to their families, such as in cases of abuse or neglect.
