Fifteen of the twenty circuits had previously been <br />funded. <br />Florida Statute 415.508 mandates: "A guardian ad litem shall <br />be appointed by the Court to represent the child in any child <br />abuse or neglect judicial proceeding". <br />As is so often the case in State programs, funds are available <br />for the Coordinator, some.travel funds, a secretary, and a <br />small amount for legal advise but not for other office expenses. <br />4 <br />
