She will help non-offending caregivers and family members as a Child and Family Advocate, guiding them on their case and what’s next in the criminal justice system.

“I’ve been involved in cases like the ones that come to CAC Southeast in the past. Being able to work closely with children and families at a time of crisis isn’t easy, but I’m here for these kids and I care about their futures,” says Hankins.

Heather Scott joins the CAC of Southeastern Indiana as a Forensic Interviewer, also in Greensburg. Scott earned her BA in Psychology from Cumberland College and has 12 years of experience as the Home School Advisor for Greensburg Elementary School. She will work with children involved in alleged instances of abuse, neglect, and witnesses to crimes.
