The DA’s office has repeatedly credited Carolyn’s Kaleidoscope Child Advocacy Center with helping to increase arrests and convictions of child sex abusers in the three-county area.“With the forensic interview at Carolyn’s Kaleidoscope, it’s a game-changer,” said Jason Minnicozzi, assistant district attorney for Columbus, Brunswick and Bladen counties. “We can effectively capture children’s stories in a forensic setting and bring that to the courtroom which gives us much better results to effectively get justice for these victims and their families in our community. I think what Carolyn’s Kaleidoscope is doing is changing the system here in this district. We’ve seen it time and time again. I’m just so grateful for what they do and for our partnership.”
