In Short – Built on county land and supported with funds raised through the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, this 24-hour shelter provides a temporary safe haven for children separated from their families for their own protection. Designed to serve more than 200 children at a time, the shelter has six residential cottages, a cafeteria, nursery, library, medical center and gym.

Polinsky Center
by mormon at Citysearch
i do not think it is fair to kids that are being held at the center to be given
shopping sprees at donors expense, it is flot out wrong and it is also
influencing children away from their parents, bribing them with gifts
to say their parents are bad. how awful, i thought that places like this
always look out for the best interest of the child, appraently NOT!!!!!
i was about to donate a large sum but after investigating i found out about
the shopping spress i have decided to give my money to a worthy cause,
not to the polinsky center. what you all are doing is irksome.
- Cons: bad influence on kids
