RINGGOLD, GA (WRCB) -- The Child Advocacy Center in Ringgold, Ga looked to get things on a good note with it's supporters after being publicly scrutinized for it's handling of the young victims in the Tonya Craft trial by Craft's attorney's.
The group held its annual fundraiser with a "casino night" theme.
Spokesperson Holly Kittle says despite the criticism, they would bet the bank, the CAC's therapist go through extensive training.
