Another child lost, another flag raised: remembering Andrea Ruth

On Friday, March 7 at 11am, we will gather again on the front lawn of the Memphis Child Advocacy Center at 1085 Poplar to remember another child lost to our community. Andrea Ruth was 12 years old when she died. Her mother, father, and a caregiver have been charged in her death.

Please join us, if you can, to help us memorialize young Andrea and all the children lost and at risk in our community.

Remembering 7 week old Aniston Walker

On Friday, February 21 at 10:30 AM, we raised the flag for young Aniston Walker, just 7 weeks old when she was reported missing. Her mother, Andrea Walker, has been charged with first-degree murder.

Speakers included District Attorney General Amy Weirich and CAC Executive Director Virginia Stallworth. To read opening remarks, click here.

Virginia Stallworth named Executive Director

After 20 years of excellent service, Nancy Williams has retired from her position as Executive Director at the Memphis CAC. The CAC is pleased to announce that Virginia Stallworth has been named Executive Director, effective February 2014.

Nancy skillfully led the Memphis Child Advocacy Center through our early beginnings to what it is today—a collaborative that centralizes best practice approaches to child sexual abuse intervention and prevention.

Virginia has worked at the center for over 15 years, managing our center’s development efforts and robust prevention program. In her new role, she will continue the CAC’s focus on evidence-based practices, strong financial management, and our team approach to serving victimized children.
