A Community Coming Together to Support the Rocha Family
Recently, Mr. Rocha and his family experienced a heartbreaking tragedy when their home was destroyed due to arson. With a family of seven, including five young children, the impact of this loss has been devastating.
The CCJJD department organized a collection to help the Rocha family, and thanks to your kindness, we were able to provide them with clothing, toys, and all the essential items they need.
We are deeply grateful for everyone who contributed, showing the true spirit of compassion and unity.

Together, we make a difference.
A victim of a crime is defined as an individual who as the result of the delinquent actions of an individual, has been injured physically, emotionally, or has suffered pecuniary loss.
The Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department is concerned when citizens in our community become a victim of a crime which is why the Victim Services Program was established. The purpose of the program is to recognize, protect, ensure the rights of crime victims and assist the victims and their families with the after effects that a crime causes.

Another program is The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). VOCA offers free counseling sessions to victims of: Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence, Family Violence and Dating Violence.
