21. Supplemental Answers (post-presentation) Q: Regarding the Child Advocacy Center - how was the $55,000 match amount determined? A: This amount was imposed by the Child Advocacy Centers of Texas. This baseline amount was determined in Fiscal Year 2014 and was guided by the legislative appropriations committee. Today, 185 Texas children will be victims of abuse. In one year, more than 65,000 cases of child abuse were confirmed in Texas. 1 in 4 Girls is sexually abused before her 18th birthday. 1 in 6 boys is sexually abused before his 18th birthday. A children’s advocacy center is the ONE non-profit to serve as the first stop for children entering the justice system because of suspected sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, and those who have witnessed a violent crime. Last year, almost 40,000 children received critical services at a Texas children’s advocacy center. Of the total number of children served by a CAC last year: 73% were involved in sexual abuse cases 95% knew their perpetrator 26% were not old enough to attend kindergarten
