When children are separated from their families due to legal troubles, the National Children's Rights Council steps in to make sure they are able to reunite from time to time until the issues are settled. It's a worthy cause, and now COO Margaret Wuwert has put out a call for volunteer monitors to help supervise the three-hour visits for children who are temporarily apart from their parents due to cases in the Lucas County Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts. "The best payment for all of this is to see a child get up and run to the door when they see a parent they haven't seen for a while," Wuwert says. Everyone from students to attorneys have volunteered in the past, with a minimum once a month commitment to the 5 to 8pm appointments. Visits take place at three different church locations.
