Hearing officers and magistrates spent their lunch hour stuffing teddy bears to help make the court experience a little less scary for children.
The bears will find a home in Dependency Court, where they will be given to children whose families are involved in the court system. The cuddly companions are meant to provide a little comfort and reassurance during what can be an uncertain and difficult time.
Our volunteer bear stuffers assembled nearly 20 teddy bears for young children — proving that sometimes a small gesture can make a big difference.
